do you know if it is possible at all? any pointers how it should be configured?
I hate when people answer with a question :-)
The user issue might not be a big thing, as I assume that it will be integrated to the Novell login. Although you would still have a separate user space, but thinking about it logically this makes sense. If I say wanted to contribute to two different languages, it would make sense to have my user page in the two local languages, with an interwiki language link just like all other pages.
Correct, the user login will be integrated with the current login (using Novell iChain).
Any language wikipedia can use images from the Wikimedia Commons by just using normal syntax, so it should be possible to have a similarly shared image space for images on openSUSE.
A lot of images (screenshots etc) will be language specific of course. It would be enough if you could easily embed images from the other languages like thus [[en:Image:name.png]], but how you would achieve that I can not answer. What you want to avoid is the downloading and uploading of common images for every language, especially as I hope there will be more languages added.
Having a central "repository" (aka. commens) makes sense... Stay tuned on the language / localization topic - we'r looking forward to getting the wikis up and running. (I expect something within the a 2-3 week timeframe - if we all collaborate in a fruitful way ;)) Regards Christoph
