That'd be great, indeed. But if there is an article in enwiki about that language, there is always also a link to the project(s), even if it is in the incubator, example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afar_language (it's near the bottom and on the right edge, though, so one might not see it easily). Maybe one could convince the communities to have such a link in other wikipediae, too...
I was just going to bring that up too. :-)
It's obviously not a perfect solution, but it's likely that if someone were looking for a Wikipedia in their language, they'd probably type it into Google. So if we type in "Central Morocco Tamazight wikipedia", we get a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Atlas_Tamazight in the first result. They read more about what the article has to say, and then they see the link at the bottom and click on it. Much fewer steps, and at least a bit clearer/more logical.
(This is actually what we do with many of the languages, at least on enwiki. See French for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language#External_links.)
