Speaking of communication between languages, contributors from the German Wikipedia put together a nice report for The Wikipedia Signpost in this week's issue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2006-07-24/German_...). Although the Signpost focuses on the English Wikipedia because that's where it's located, I agree with Walter that more news from other languages is welcome.
We have some interest in making this report a regular feature - if that's going to happen, people need to write it. Perhaps, so that we don't hear only from the German-speakers, we could rotate reports coming from several of the larger Wikipedias. So I invite anyone interested to write a similar report about their project. First to submit gets to be first in line for publication!
