Re: [Wikimedia-l] Noongarpedia - Perth Western Australia

Kaya Some of you would have become aware of a project in Perth Western Australia that has been ongoing since 2014. The ultimate aim is have nys.wikipedia.org currently its at https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/nys with 500 articles While everyone has been focused on enjoying the holiday break the people facilitating this project have been busily writing a report on the project and it was publish last night. It looks at working with an Indigenous cultural/language group in the southwest of Western Australia, the first chapter covers this detail. The project has been working on a number of very specific challenges facing minority and Indigenous cultures in contributing to the projects. It discusses what worked how that evolved, we investigated intangible knowledge sources and even challenged the methods of collecting the statistics behind the conclusion that Noongar language is a threatened language. The project has worked with multiple generations of Nyoongar people in differing environments, its worked with students from the early years of primary school 6,7 8 years old through to post graduate students. Wikimedia Australia is currently organising opportunities to discuss with facilitators of the project, the first event is in Darwin in March and later in Perth during October. As always if you find yourself in Perth let me know we are always ready to have yarn. In the mean time enjoy reading about Noongarpedia and we hope it offers insights http://cultural-science.org/journal/index.php/culturalscience ​--​ G ​ideon President Wikimedia Australia WMAU: http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/User:Gnangarra Photo Gallery: http://gnangarra.redbubble.com _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
