I to a degree follow news articles mentioning wikipedia. While other
languages are increasing acknowledged en tends to still receive the
focus of the article. Effects on other projects can be seen in the
number of translations from en and through the way the policy of many
tends to be draw from en (see .ru and the whole WP:V thing). When I
last saw figures most donations came from the US and the foundation
was far more concerned with getting a donation notice on en than the
other members of the big 8. Look at the make up of the various coms
for evidence of the last.
