This is a participant-driven meeting where we share updates on language-related projects, discuss technical challenges in language wikis, and collaborate on solutions. In our upcoming meeting, we plan to cover results from a recent language onboarding experiment and hear experiences from a Nigerian contributor who contributes to the Obolo wiki, which was part of this experiment.
