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

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...)

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 :)
Best regards,
Bence
