Proposals from within the various language communities would be nice 
too---there's no specific reason every Wikipedia has to function 
identically to the en: one, which is in a lot of ways a sort of special 
case.

Is the problem that there are no proposals for what to do, or no 
authority to implement the proposals, or does the "outside world" just 
not know what's going on in a lot of Wikipedias because of language 
barriers?  I confess I have very little idea what's going on in 
Wikipedias other than en, de, and fr, and I suspect that's true of a lot 
of people---even ja, a very large and active one, is pretty much a black 
box to me as a non-Japanese-speaker, and doubly so for many others.
