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.

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

Sorry for the lack of context. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Cloud_of_other_lang_wikis for more context and an implementation.
