There has been a longstanding request for some technical measure that
provides for a /real/ all-language pinboard that is automatically posted to
all small wikis, or to all wikis that opt in, or to all wikis with an option
to opt out.  A way to share messages that are assumed to be multilingual,
which are displayed in the local lang if translated, or the nearest larger
parent lang... with a link to a meta page where announcements are suggested
(perhaps the Pin Board itself).

Is anyone thinking about how this might be implemented?
