The site needs various images, particularly of fabric samples and prints. These images should be copyright free or have permissions of the copyright owner. The creations are handled through linkages, but the fabric samples and fabric print samples should be accompanied by direct images on the site.

I just updated the page templates to include tags for, in addition to English and French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Japanese. I picked most of these because I am reasonably confident that Babel gave me a correct translation of the expression "page in [language]". It does something odd with Chinese (or the wetpaint site reformats it in a way I don't understand), and Babel doesn't support all languages either. I then updated the cross-linguistic tags on all pages inside the wiki to conform to the new templates. This is becoming an onerous task - there are about 100 pages to change now, every time I update the templates.

I have begun putting in some structures for the wiki, but am open to suggestions about alternative means to doing this...
