Hi everyone :)
It was a tough choice for Denny and me because we received a number of very good submissions. Thank you everyone who submitted a proposal and helped us think through the priorities. We now have our focus languages! It is: Hausa, Igbo, Bengali, Malayalam and Dagbani. I'm looking forward to working with you on these (and of course all other languages!). You can read a bit more about it in the latest edition of the Abstract Wikipedia newsletter at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates/2021-04-15
Cheers Lydia
