Yes, of course we would like one unified project.
Ed, Thank you for your reply.
Since I cannot read or write Polish at all, and my French and Spanish are extremely limited, I have to rely on bilingual people who choose to write to this list.
You are not likely to get any impression what is going on the Polish WP, and the same with me in case of the nl.wikipedia.org and several others. My point is that there are people in all Wikipedias (the English as well) that 1) cannot get a view of what is going on in the _whole_ project 2) cannot communicate their views, grievances or proposals 3) cannot share content, data, ideas etc. 4) cannot build _one_ community it is caused, IMO, by language barriers and lack of the proper platform (meeting place) Of course Wikipedia Embassies was really a good idea. But its implementation lacks something.
If there is another list I should subscribe to, please let me know -- or a Wikipedia page. I understand that some non-English Wikipedia contributors feel left out by the "main" English Wikipedia.
This is just one of the problems and not the most important one.
"Wikipedia News" translated into all our major languagues and transmitted to all major Wikipedias. Ambassadors acting as translators and editors also giving resume of any discussions that result from any of topics.
Best regards, Kpjas.
