Hello dear language committee,
As some of you might know, a number of Moroccan Wikimedians are working on
developing a new version in the Wikimedia incubator, regarding Darija, also
called Moroccan Arabic (language code: ARY). The User Group in Morocco is
actively supporting the effort, and many members are involved in it so that
the quality is improved, and overall the result is better. You can find the
home page at this link
<https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/ary/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%…>
There you can also see that more than 1200 articles were written so far,
and a number of new ones is created on a daily basis.
The reason why we are sending this email is that we feel close and ready to
launch the project as an own Wikipedia, and we wanted to hear your opinions
and feedback, on what eventually needs to be done before that. Do you have
any specific comments or ideas that you think we must really think about
before making our submission? We would really appreciate your expert-eye
and return so that we can improve this project to the best, before making
the submission for a full-wikipedia, probably during this year.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind attention, and support, and
have a good Friday so far!
Best regards,
Anass - on behalf of Wikimedia Morocco Darija project Team
