Great, thanks for the clarifications Bence :-) Also, I like the idea of using a history of sitenotices to get to know a project. That could be an automatable way to supplement "tell us about..." style updates. SJ

At the same time, we also approved the formation of Wikimedia Eesti. Welcome to the Estonian chapter! This chapter has the distinction of having received approval without translating any of their core documents into English. (While I like this, I hope that ee. editors will find time to update the Estonian pages on Meta to reflect the current state of the projects, in the language of their choice...) http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Eesti http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tell_us_about_Estonian_Wikipedia
For what it's worth, the bylaws were indeed translated into English, so
that Chapcom didn't need to rely on my "Hi! How are you?" level of Estonian to understand and review them. And fortunately, Estonian seems to be pretty easily understood by Google Translate.
As for projects, you can get a glimpse by looking at their grant request at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_EE/Start_up, or at the sitenotices on the Estonian Wikipedia (they are currently running an image gathering program, and previously had a competition for IT students, if I am not mistaken). I've CC'd in Ivo from the Estonian chapter, so he can correct me if I am wrong and who hopefully will be signed up to the various mailing lists soon – I also encouraged them to send periodical chapters reports of their activities once they are settled in a bit :)
