Hello everyone,
I have received many answers and I am thrilled to see so much
enthusiasm! Now, 25 people are willing to take part in the translation
and 13 languages are concerned! It's just awesome.
I have created an article in Meta to organize ourselves:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikim%C3%A9dia_France/Actions/Jeu_p%C3%A9dag...
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikim%C3%A9dia_France/Actions/Jeu_p%C3%A9dagogique/Translation
you guys can add your user accounts in the table so I can easily
reach you.
Here are the next steps: I am sorry for the many languages proposed, but
now I need to prioritize English first to have it ready for the 1st of
August. For the other languages, you guys can start on your own. As I
said, Vjola from Albanian Languages UG made it
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikeys_in_Albanian_Language.pdf,
so I am sure you will nail it too! Probably waiting for the English
version would be wise too.
Anyways, I propose to organise a *launching event on wednesday the 28th
of june at 4 pm (Paris time)* so I can explain you how we can do it,
starting with explaining you how the game works!
Meanwhile, you can take a look at the presentation I gave during the
EduWiki conference in Belgrade
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQmddSHKvQg. You will be able to
listen to me explaining in poor english how and why the game was
conceived, and watch people playing the game.
See you on the 28th of june!
