wait, what do you mean by "new local associations"? If you mean regional Wikipedia groups in France and elsewhere in the French-speaking world...
http://br.wikipedia.org/ http://oc.wikipedia.org/ http://wa.wikipedia.org/ http://ca.wikipedia.org/ http://als.wikipedia.org/ http://lu.wikipedia.org/ http://ht.wikipedia.org/ http://mg.wikipedia.org/ ...and other languages spoken along with French in parts of the Francophonie (I'm not sure what else I should add to the list)
Many smaller Wikipedias have a problem with awareness, and those capable of editing them may be editing a different Wikipedia in complete ignorance of their existance.

I have no problem with halloween decorations, but is it even widespread in France, other than perhaps due to recent internationalism?
I know that in the US, many people find halloween offensive because they believe it's satanic (ha!), and for that reason I would not advocate using a halloween theme on en.wikipedia; however this might be different in the francophonie.

Two years ago, the french wikipedia celebrated its upgrading on phase III software. We spent the day hunting bugs, fixing user accounts and generally making everything work again.
Two years later, we celebrate a rather happy time.
Little vandalism, no conflict, nearly 60 000 articles, new local associations, as well as pumpkins and cooking art on

(for all those complaining, we also celebrate Christmas, end of Ramadan, Carnaval and any other nice special days you can think of)
Happy Halloween to Kira as well ;-)
