Hi Boston Wikimedians,

I'm exploring the idea of doing outreach to university language learners to help build smaller Wikipedias.

Since Boston is a hotbed of big universities, and consequently many classes in rarely-taught languages, I'm wondering if anyone in your group has done this? (For instance, I was looking at BU's African Languages program -- http://www.bu.edu/africa/forstudents/alp/ -- it would be really cool to get these students & faculty to work on the Xhosa, Wolof, etc. Wikipedias).

Thoughts? Phoebe
