For Wikipedia's 15th birthday I wish that we will move towards thinking how to massively increase the effectivity of each and every single contributor and their reach. I wish us to think how we can, by 2020, create well-sourced, high quality, comprehensive Wikipedias in more than 200 languages, and be able to maintain those without assuming that we have 30,000 or more active editors in each of these languages.
I want us to think about ways how to achieve a billion articles. We need tools and workflows that go well beyond Wikidata and Content Translation to really achieve that goal. Ways to allow to create and maintain a knowledge base which abstracts from natural language, and ways to generate articles in any of our supported languages on the fly. This generators have to be as community-editable and creatable as the content itself, as anything else won't scale for our means.
That's my wish for our 15 year old project.

A few hours ago I had the pleasure of celebrating Wikipedia's fifteenth birthday here in Tbilisi < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_fifteenth_birthday_party_i...
with Wikimedia Georgia. Press and Television were both in attendance.
We had some interesting discussions - there may be an application coming in for internationalisation to deal with the problem that many Georgians can only edit in the Latin script.
I then went on to take some photos in the Georgian National Museum, though it may be a few days before I organise and upload those. I tried to get better photos of this bracelet < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pyrope_and_Turquoise_jewellery.JPG
and
I have photos of another Georgian diadem https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Diadems_of_Georgia
