In the last days I have looked at some pages in doubt. It is not always
easy to recognize if the content is in foreign language.
I was just insulted by an esparanto contributor as I moved a page about
eo-extensions from EO to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Extensions/eo although
it was about specialties around esperanto.
He could be convinced to expand his page with some translation from the en
page.
The zsync page mentioned above is also such an example. It deals only with
the german CD/DVD distribution (LibreOfficeBox)

In my opinion we should keep the number of pages under the language
namespaces as low as possible. It is easier to find things if they are in
the multilangual structure.
