In June, Wikimedia ZA held Wiki Indaba. It was for wikipedians from Africa and wikipedians working on Africa from outside, as well as those from the aligned movement across Africa. We had delegates from all over Africa, including Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Tunisia, and France. Afripedia was invited, I know, because I made a special effort to make sure they knew about it. I believe Florence also mentioned it to them. But there was some change happening at Afripedia too.
That's participants from 3 Francophone countries in Africa, the relevant Wikipedia mentions 24 and 31 countries. Last week I asked and none of the 14 Africans who attended the Douala session knew about WikiIndaba. Same for the participants in Madagascar if I remember correctly. Also on wikiindaba.net I don't see *any* French language content (I googled "français site:wikiindaba.net" ). That makes it pretty hard for people who don't speak English to attend.
If Wikiindaba.org integrates the MLEB package (for French), do we have French speaking volunteers to translate the most important pages?
