You didn't! I was thinking of other unrelated things. :)
Glad to hear that :) I mean, at least I am not the cause...
Languages list suddenly revived. And during one day we've learned for
three
separate initiatives for building Wikipedia articles in a number of
Latin
American native languages. That reminded me that there are a lot of
people
in the wild willing to work on Wikipedia content, even in many languages which don't have its edition of Wikipedia yet. And we should start searching for them collectively.
Very cool! Which languages?
Global Voices folk are going to Bogota and one Wayuu speaker will join them. We have incubator project.
Similarly, French Wikimedian Sylvain Mailler is working on Kichwa Incubator and he has access to native speakers, as his wife is Kichwa (from Ecuador).
Canadian doctor and Wikipedia activist James Heilman is working on medical articles in Guarani, Haitan Creole, K'iche', and Quechua. Except Ki'che', we have projects in all other languages.
Translation companies are donating those translations, which opens interesting area, that we didn't explore yet.
