I want to add to what Anthère said :
that almost everything is discussed in english is one problem
but the first we should be aware that something is discussed somewhere.
I also follow wikipedia-l, wikitech-l, intlwiki-l (and wikifr-l of course)
and very often important things are discussed somewhere else: wikien-l, village pump on
en:
and meta.
# I can't follow wikien-l anymore: too much traffic and far too low signal/noise
ration
# Meta is a real mess: no structure, no way too make difference between
"official" information,
personnal essays, proposition, pure delire, ...
# I don't really participate anymore on en:, so the village pump on en: should be
useless for me
(this is where LOCAL' stuff should be discussed. No?)
What I should like is that for everything that is more or less official and
should concern directly or indirectly wikipedias other than the english,
at least someone post a message on wikipedia-l or intlwiki-l saying
"topic about XXX is discussed here or there".
This should be the very first step for better communication between the wikipedias.
And even if there is no discussion, at least we should be informed that this or that have
been decided or have been changed.
I don't think this is asking too much and will decrease on the non-english wikis the
feeling that we are second (or third) class citizen.
