Given all the good comments made here and Ed message of a couple of days

on the
www.wikipedia.org
amha (french translation for imho, nicely provided by our french linguist)
1)There's a need for a portal page stating the existence of all the wikis,
a few infos about each, and a direct link to each. This page should be
at
wikipedia.org.
Unfortunately, the portal page is just about the most bankrupt concept
possible in terms of usability, and online, usability is just about all
you've got. The harm of adding one more click to users, both new and
old, is measurable and huge.
www.wikipedia.org already has all the portalness it needs in its two
paragraphs of intro. The article count should probably count all the
languages, but that's about it.
Right now the different language versions of WP are separate wikis; that
should not be the permanent case. And that is what should be focused on
here.
