On the Cree-
I can put this question out in the next newsletter of the *Society for the
Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas*. One might contact:
Arok Wolvengrey at the First Nations University of Canada.
Once a language has reached a point at which local speakers cannot agree on
the meaning of its writing system, or the language never acquired an
accepted and integrated writing system, challenges abound for getting a
growing encyclopedia going in the language.
Linguists do a great job of understanding indigenous languages: use,
disuse, structure, and endangerment, but we need to try to bridge the gap
between linguists' knowledge and tech-savvy, open-source communities.

Good day,
Does somebody on that list know where I should go about this issue:
When I open the Cree wikipedia (cr.wikipedia.org) from my work
computer, I only see squares instead of Cree syllabics. First, I would
like to know if that's normal or if that's bug. Second, would there be
a way to fix that from the MediaWiki end since people on computers
like that don't have access to change the settings of their browser or
install new fonts (now I'm from a work computer, but same thing could
happen from a computer in a library for example). I'm using Internet
Explorer 7.
I have posted it there:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Localisation#Font_not_working , but
I'm not sure it's the right place.
I remember reading about the extension WebFonts to avoid those issue,
how can we go to create one for Cree if it doesn't exist? And where
could I find more info about that?
Thanks,
JP Beland alias Amqui
All,
The UK has a few smaller languages - Welsh, Scots, Gaelic and others. We've
not done much outreach with these before, but recently Robin Owain and
others of the Welsh Wikipedia - Wicipedia Cymraeg (
http://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafan) - has run some events with funding from
WMUK. A breakdown of the largest event at the National Eisteddfod is at
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Visit_report_-_National_Eisteddfod_8_Aug_2012.
Hope this is interesting for you all!

Querida en el Señor,
Os saludo en especial en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, nuestro Señor, soy la señora Alice Jahab de la República de Kuwait, estoy casada con el Sr. Razaki Jahab quien trabajó con la embajada de Kuwait en Costa de Marfil durante nueve años antes de morir en el año 2009, Nos casamos por once años sin un niño. Murió después de una breve enfermedad que duró sólo cuatro días. Antes de su muerte éramos ambos otra vez nacido cristiano. Desde su muerte he decidido no volver a casarse o tener un hijo fuera de mi hogar conyugal que la Biblia está en contra,
Cuando mi marido estaba vivo él depositó la suma de $ 2,500 millones de dólares en un banco en Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire África occidental. Actualmente, este dinero todavía está en el banco, recientemente mi doctor me dijo que no iba a durar los próximos ocho meses debido al problema del cáncer La que más me molesta es mi enfermedad del movimiento, de haber conocido mi condición yo decidí donar este fondo a una organización de caridad que utilizará este dinero la manera que voy a encargar aquí,
Quiero una organización que utilice este fondo para los orfanatos, escuelas, iglesias, viudas, propagando la palabra de Dios y al esfuerzo que la casa de Dios se mantiene La Biblia nos hizo entender que "Bendito es la mano que da" Tomé esta decisión porque no tengo cualquier niño que heredará este dinero y mi marido familiares no son cristianos y no quiero que mi marido para ser utilizados por los incrédulos.
No quiero una situación donde este dinero será utilizado en una manera impía Es por eso que estoy tomando esta decisión. Yo no le tengo miedo a la muerte lo tanto, sé donde voy yo sé que voy a estar en el pecho del Señor, Éxodo 14 CONTRA 14 dice que "el señor luchará mi caso y yo llevará a cabo mi paz" I don ' t necesito ninguna comunicación del teléfono en este respeto debido a mi salud por lo tanto la presencia de los parientes de mi marido alrededor de mí siempre que no quiero que sepan acerca de este desarrollo Con Dios todo es posible. Tan pronto como recibamos su respuesta le voy a dar el contacto del banco en Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire África occidental,
Yo también le entregará una carta de la autoridad que te pruebe el actual beneficiario de este fondo del Ministerio de Justicia aquí en Cote d'Ivoire, quiero que tú y la iglesia rogaran siempre para mí porque el señor es mi pastor. Mi felicidad es que viví una vida digna de un cristiano Quienquiera que desea servir al señor debe servirlo en espíritu y en verdad. Rogar por favor siempre a lo largo de su vida contacto conmigo en este correo electrónico cualquier demora en su respuesta me dará el sitio en sourcing otra iglesia para este mismo propósito,
Por favor, me aseguran que usted actúe en consecuencia como indiqué adjunto esperanza de recibir su respuesta pronto,
Reciba la siguiente información, tal como a continuación.

Good day,
Do you think there would be a way to implement something where the
contributor could select his dialect of a language within his preferences
or at the time of writing an article so we could make indexation of
articles by dialect somewhat automatic ?
Thanks,
JP
Good day,
I'd like if interested people could meet sometime soon to discuss the
direction Wikimedia Indigenous Languages should take and what should be its
roles from all your points of view. It will also be useful to share
on-going and planned projects that are in place in your regions or that you
are involved with.
So please see the propose time (or suggest another one) on the Talk page:

Good day,
Here's the e-mail I just sent to ChapCom:
Good day,
I send you this e-mail to let you know of the creation of Wikimedia
Indigenous Languages (WIL), an international body for the coordination of
projects for the development of Wikimedia projects in small and endangered
languages. The organization is still it its early stage of creation and
didn't even had its first meeting yet, but had gathered around 20
interested people from different countries already. The reason of this
e-mail is to engage the discussion with the Affiliation Committee in this
early stage. If you have any questions, concerns or comments, don't
hesitate to come on the newly created languages-l (
languages(a)lists.wikimedia.org) to ask us.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Indigenous_Languages (or search
WIL on Meta).
Thanks,
