It would be great, Samuel, if such a general pin board for all Wikipedias would come to life. For the "Tell us" project I went to quite a number of village pumps, but sometimes it is difficult to post (if you don't speak the language). At Esperanto Wikipedia we now discuss how to make our village pump / Embassy easier to find.
Someone from Simple English Wikipedia noted that it could be a starting point for small Wikipedias, as translating from it is easier tran translating form English Wikipedia.
At http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ziko/Basic_Wikipedia_and_help_pages I started to write some Wikipedia and Help pages for new and small Wikipedias, because simply translating those from English Wikipedia are often rather complicated and a huge amount of text. And sometimes they are not suitable for every language edition.

I'm generally interested in making the Wikipedias more interconnected, linguistically, and maintaining a global community spirit. I think it's vital to Wikipedia's mission, in fact. I create a lot of articles, mostly related to ancient Greece and Rome, and always try to make sure I include interwiki links to the article in other-language Wikipedias. The Catalan Wiki, in particular, has a pretty spectacular breadth of classics-related articles. It's made me want to learn the language.

Thanks, me too, and I had to do it myself. :-) What is your interest in Multilingual Wikipedia affairs, are you a linguist or a small WP editor? Greetings Ziko

Neat. I've been looking for a thing like this.

Hello, Would you like to tell us about your Wikipedia? I am afraid that many know only about the Wikipedia he edits himself. At Meta-Wiki you can answer to questions about your Wikipedia language edition and read about others: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tell_us_about_your_Wikipedia
Kind regards Ziko
