Gosh, Phil, that sounds like it could be the name of a beauty salon ... they could advertise "Walk through the French Portal and be instantly transformed into a celebrity" ....

Sorry, but I am clueless what you're asking about.  Could you expand on it a little, please?

Gaile : Hello - sorry to disappoint.  Can't imagine WikiTree being open to anything so attractive although who knows what future pleasantries are in store for us /

 I had more in mind a French equivalent to say the following page:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Nederlands_Portaal_%28Dutch_Portal%29

More than likely this is merely wishful thinking as even my recent G2G search for members who may be  interested in a new ' project ' (i.e. regarding French names, particularly of people and places and also of 'French' influence on our history) has, to my knowledge, elicited just one indication of support from one member - out of how many currently active members ?

C'est la vie
That certainly is a lovely page and looks like it serves a great purpose, but it's a free space page that someone created. Why don't you just create a French one, then announce it here, and people will look at it and oooh and ahhh over it.  That might be what it takes to stimulate some interest in participating.

Please try not to be discouraged by poor response to suggestions.  Most members are very goal oriented toward the tasks they have defined for themselves here and don't have the time to devote to an additional one no matter how attractive it is to them.  As you have found, there are a plethora of different ways to pursue interests, all of which fit under the "genealogy" umbrella, on WikiTree.
Any language portal needs to be project oriented. Yes, the Netherlands portal is a freespace page but it was done under guidance of a Leader speaking  the language.Any new portal would be done differently from what I understand.

I agree with Gaile don't be discouraged. It's only been one day so give people a chance to read your post and respond. It might still draw some interest.
