We should indeed care. One thing is that we should do whatever we can to
help new projects grow to a selfsustainable size in terms of content and
contributors. The second is that we must accept that a lot of new projects
will fail, but that this is no reason not to go ahead with even more new
projects. If 1 out of 10 new projects survive, then the time spent on the 9
failed projects was not waisted. That one project in some "small language"
helps fullfilling the vision of the Foundation as stated on those
fundraisingpages I'm just now translating into the small language of
Norwegian.
Thanks to Lodewijk for a posting here that actually gave me some inspiration
to continue translating ;)

Hoi,
I wish for 80% of our projects to have the same problems as our bigger
projects. It would be cool that we could compare the quality issues of the
Xhosa Wikipedia or any of the bottom 80%. It takes content in order to talk
about quality. The content is not there and consequently quality is not an
issue.
Thanks,
GerardM

Actually, the quality is a serious problem of all
projects including
en.wp. I thought it is obvious for everybody, but if not, I can provide
more detail.
Cheers
Yaroslav
