How's your Spanish? I might try the Spanish Wikipedia list:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikies-l/ You could always try
one of the spanish-speaking chapters for help translating or more info
too. If all else fails try sending a message to Foundation-l, at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l; but it's
often hard to track down information about people from that time
period as many folks have moved on, and f-l can be pretty
english-centric.
Also I assume you've seen
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Transwiki:Wikimania05/Paper-AS1 ? Juan
David's username is
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Zuirdj; he's
still active and I think Ascander is too. That might be a good place
to start.

hi wiki researchers,
i'm currently writing a piece that covers some of the 2002 spanish
fork of wikipedia. in particular, i'm trying to find out a little more
about what kind of figure edgar enyedy was and his exact role in the
fork.
from the archives i can see that he was very much the voice of the
fork, but i haven't found much about how active he was before the fork
and whether or not it was him that actually set up the new fork.
for example, was he an (unofficial) community leader? did he have
technical expertise?
any help, including contact information, would be much appreciated.
best
