What other estimates of Wikipedia quality do we have, that can be applied across language versions?
The completeness of http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_articles_every_Wikipedia_should_have and the ratio of the quantity metrics of those articles (number of authors, number of edits, number of bytes and all of that stuff and the ratio of the metrics of the 1k-List to the other articles in the same language edition.
This has been around for over year in the at "List of Wikipedias by sample of articles". There seems to have been a fair bit of discussion about the algorithm, so it might be pretty representative by now, though I can't comment directly as I haven't looked into it myself (I'm basing that statement just on a quick scan of the talk page).
