An interface similar to a tag cloud for other language wikis
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: sundarbecse

Description:
Currently other language wikipedias are clustered into 1000+, 10000+ and so on.
It involves manual involvment to update this list particularly in other language
wikipedias with a small number of users. Also, searching for a particular
language is not easy here. An alternate system could be an interface similar to
a [[tag cloud]] where each language is rendered in a font whose size is
proportional to the number of articles it has.

What list, where? Context is good.

Sounds a bit useless, to be honest. The idea is to expand the small wikis, not
make their links unreadable.

The list of languages on the main page.
