That sounds reasonable. However, the signature would need to make sure that newcomers don't follow the link to the "become a greeter" page and get confused.

As for language, I think the benefits and comfort of seeing your native language in the signature of a Maemo Greeter override the goal of not duplicating information. So, I'd say greeters who speak multiple languages fluently should feel free to copy multiple localized links to localized wiki pages into their signature. I just think we should have at most one link for a given language, which leads to a page with the most important information and links to additional pages.

I did some minor work on the Greeters' page (many, many huge thanks to smarsh for starting it!) and have more planned. When it's done, this goes from pilot to full-bore implementation.
Awesome. You've done some amazing work driving this project; I think it'll help new users a lot, which makes the community stronger, which helps all of us.

Anyway your comments are certainly welcome and I do intend to incorporate them!
Thanks!
