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 is largely talking about the board elections though, which was Anglo-centric and could have benefited from extra translation work and contacts on many more language wiki's to promote the election in line with "local customs".
I think the idea at the root of this thread is a good one; it's not a perfect metric by any stretch of the imagination - but it could highlight Wiki's that have little cross-wiki collaboration. I'd be interested to see activity intersection between the various Wiki's and Meta (and other organisational wiki's); to see what portion of people are also active in the foundation. This could highlight areas where Wiki's suffer from under-representation in areas of the foundation and gives us something to target "outreach" work etc. Tom On 15 June 2011 16:08, Niklas Laxström <[email protected]> wrote: > On 15 June 2011 17:34, Alec Conroy <[email protected]> wrote: > > The important point of doing this would be: > > 1) to identify those users with unique language skills and recruit them > Recruit them to do what? > > 2) to identify projects and languages that are 'most disconnected' > > from the English hub, so we can make them less disconnected. > Can we make them less disconnected?
