It's just a simple proposal that I posted. I'm curious about it; I could use
some feedback.

It would be great, Samuel, if such a general pin board

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.

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.
