"Daniel Mayer" skribis:
But what I am mainly interested in is the hiring of
college professors who
teach a particular language to do what Larry did for the English Wikipedia
(except in a part time capacity). Why such a specific criteria? Because we
could suggest to the instructor (or require him/her) to give his or her
students a choice to obtain part of their grade (and extra credit) by
translating Wikipedia articles or even create new ones from scratch. This
would potentially add dozens of Wikipedians contributing to a small Wikipedia
overnight.
Do you think of professors in US colleges, which teach
the language in question (to students having English
as native language), or of professors in a country
of the given language itself (so the language will
be native to most students).
Which of these alternatives you would prefer?
Why?
