Hello,
I'm writing this as the follow-up to Jimmy Wales' Wikimania keynote
about small Wikipedias, or, as some people correctly say, Wikipedias
in underprivileged languages. (It's strange to use the word "small"
anywhere near Bengali, for example.)
Is there some recorded body of knowledge about the existing attempts
to engage small language communities? The only thing that i know is
the parts with Ndesanjo Macha in "The Truth According To Wikipedia".
They are very inspiring, but very small.
Were there any people that, for example, worked with schools that
function in underprivileged languages and tried to teach students
there to write Wikipedia articles in their language? If there were,
can i read, hear or watch their experiences anywhere?
