Dear all,
I am excited to share some of the latest updates from the Ghanaian
Wikipedia communities that I am currently supporting as part of the A+F
West African language project. As you may be aware, the Gurene Wikipedia
<https://gur.wikipedia.org/> was approved last month, and this week, the
Ghanaian Pidgin and the Fante Wikipedia incubators have also been approved.
I started the West African language project to initially support the
Dagbani, the Gurene, and the Ghanaian Pidgin language Wikis in Ghana. Four
more languages are coming on board!
On the other hand, I am excited to share that we will be hosting a two-day
language meetup in Tamale
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ghanaian_Languages_Meetup> for all nine
language communities in Ghana, including the three language communities
that A+F is currently supporting under the West African language program.
The event is funded through the WMF Rapid Program. The meetup will be added
to the A+F event dashboard soon.
I am very excited about this event, as I will be engaging all the
language communities in Ghana.
