As you know, the WMF publishes a monthly and very thorough summary of all the "development" activity on mediawiki.org and the WMF blog. Since a few months, Guillaume is also writing a human-readable summary which contains the few things every Wikimedia projects editor should really know. It would be very nice to have it translated in more languages, because many (1000+/month) read it rather than the long version. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_engineering_report/2013/January/summary Direct link to translate: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Wikimedia+engineering+report%2F2013%2FJanuary%2Fsummary&task=view

P.s.: This would also help WMF's software development projects being /slightly less/ anglo-centric, IMHO: this is the only way communities have to give feedback on stuff before it's thrown on them irrecoverably.
