{{New sister project proposal
| status              = rejected
| project_name        = WikiCode (can be changed)
| tagline             = The free coding project
| project_description = The idea of WikiCode is to enable programmers to share code with each other, such that documentation and even the code itself can be regularly improved, on an instantaneous basis like a wiki article, dispensing with restrictive (but secure and orderly) check-in/out and edit-authorization procedures of repositories like [[:en:GitHub|GitHub]] or [[:en:Sourceforge|SourceForge]]. Other goals are: independence of any particular programming language; and ideally, independence of any particular human language (native language of programmer).  For example, a hosted routine in FORTRAN code in the English section could be quickly converted into Ada in Spanish, BASIC in Portuguese, C++ in French, and other such combinations, simply by changing the language selectors.  The code itself (or at least its function) would remain the same across the different transformations.  The projects and proposals below represent steps toward these still-lofty goals.
| multilingual_wiki   = only one
| multilingual        = The interface will be multilingual, the lingua franca is English and in some projects the particular language can be the working language.
