There is a lot of cross-wiki collaboration that can be done (whilst
supporting the idea of wiki independence) and should be
encouraged. Foundation work, cross-wiki translations of material, etc. Alec
is largely talking about the board elections though, which was Anglo-centric
and could have benefited from extra translation work and contacts on many
more language wiki's to promote the election in line with "local customs".
I think the idea at the root of this thread is a good one; it's not a
perfect metric by any stretch of the imagination - but it could highlight
Wiki's that have little cross-wiki collaboration.
I'd be interested to see activity intersection between the various Wiki's
and Meta (and other organisational wiki's); to see what portion of people
are also active in the foundation.
This could highlight areas where Wiki's suffer from under-representation in
areas of the foundation and gives us something to target "outreach" work
etc.

The important point of doing this would be:
1) to identify those users with unique language skills and recruit them

them to do what?
2) to identify projects and languages that are

from the English hub, so we can make them less disconnected.
Can we make them less
disconnected? How?
