How about demanding from foundation to allocate some

to solve at some of Commons problems?
We probably won't get to much Commons-specific stuff in there, but we'll
see what sub-projects come up.
As for user language: see comments in similar request
about user's
gender (
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13040), which
also affect quality of MediaWiki localizations.
Will social gender (often, but not always aligned with biological sex)
always track with grammatical gender?
What are the cascading implications of user gender on localization
(adjective agreement in Romance languages, verb agreement in Semitic
languages) and what technical requirements would be imposed?
