Hoi, I would be thrilled with a Wikisource in Pitjantjara. This demonstrates the language even better. I can also imagine that making stories available for everyone and not for just an "ivory tower" would provide a great argument to use a Wikisource.
PS and how about a Wikibook explaining the grammar and rules of the language ?? Thanks, GerardM

Oooh, that sounds like an *excellent* project.
(Pitjantjatjara is an Australian Aboriginal language. These languages are very small and many are in danger of dying out. I suspect a dictionary actually makes more sense as a first project for such a language than an encyclopedia. I also suspect a lot of the localisation of computer terms will actually be English words ;-)
