I am looking for a volunteer to create a WMC page for French speaking individuals. I believe they should be kept informed with a summary page that we can link to from the main WMC page on meta.
I'm an anglophone who lives in Montreal, and this offends even me. "Kept informed"? What, while people in the ROC make decisions for them? Gee, how patronizing of us.
Having decisions made in English, and then dictated down to francophones in their own tongue, is probably not going to fly. Let's make sure that at least one French speaker is part of the steering committee, so that we can address the needs of all Canadians.
There's a contact board for Quebec Wikipedians:

I can send out some emails to well-known Quebec Wikipedians, too.
