Great!  I am working on refining some of what i put up there, and will
think more carefully about mutually exclusive categories.

I'm french (not french canadien/quebecer) so my opinion may not be representative : to me many french canadians might be able to understand that we don't have a lot of resources to translate all the content and when we want to bring people from all over the country, english is the language. We try to put some content in french as we can. Then we should put to much emphasis on french. For example, the title of the page (which is also the URL) must remain in english only (and simple).

ce que tu dis est plus ou moin vrai, pour moi, je commence a travailler
de plus en plus en francais, et j'aimerais en faire plus, donc le plus
possible ce serait bien de faire le mieux que l'on peu en sachant que
l'on ne peu pas tous faire.  Par example, a ottawa on ne peu pas
travailler uniquement en englais, je vois hull de chez moi car il n'y a
que une petite riviere qui nous separe!  Ah! c'est un fait culturel et
historique. Les gens comprendront mais seulement s'ils voient que nous
faisont un vrai efforts! Et je dirais qu'a date on fais 'une pas mal
bonne job' !
> - Language auto-detection : The wiki software has this ability. When a french-configured browser arrives on the website, the wiki provides the webpage "Page D'Accueil (http://www.civicaccess.ca/wiki/PageD%27Accueil) which is for the moment forwarded to the common frontpage. We could remove that forward and copy the french version to the "Page d'accueil" page. In fact it's already done but I leave the french version in the FrontPage for the moment.
