Dear Alec,
Maybe the Community Department can help you out with your question. We
are doing a number of research sprints this summer to map out
different aspects of the Wikipedia communities and this sounds like a
great question and we have some researchers available to help write
the queries.
So
I have added a small script at
http://www.toolserver.org/~platonides/activeusers/activeusers.php to
show active users per project and language.
Requisites for appearing there are more than 500 edits (total) and at
least one action (usually an edit) in the last month (since May 16, data

Agreed, I don't think this is a surprising result.

I would say broaden the span and lower the number of contribs required
just a little (maybe 300?).

The edit count is are already looking at the full count, in the last
month only one is needed.
The recent elections showed us that language issues and translation
are something we have to take very seriously from now on. As a first
step towards improving communication, it seems like we should get an
idea of which users speak which languages?
We could directly ask them to tell us, but upon

That doesn't follow.
Hi Aryeh, thanks for the fast reply.
Yes, this will definitely underestimate linguistic capabilities of
some users, and overestimate the linguistic capabilities of others---
it's a rough measure at best.
But is there another way to try to get who how easily two languages
should be able to

There is a lot of cross-wiki collaboration that can be done (whilst
supporting the idea of wiki independence) and should be
encouraged. Foundation work, cross-wiki translations of material, etc. Alec
