Erik, Sue, Frank, et al, Can you please say more about the plans for a Middle East education program? (yes I have read notes from the recent trip on outreach wiki) What is the timeframe? Who is going to run it? Will you establish a "trust" there? Where will the office be? If the program is to be duplicated, I certainly hope there are not the same issues with quality, as has happened in Pune. What lessons have you learned and what will you do differently? Knowing that there is quite a backlog, last time I checked, with pending changes on Arabic Wikipedia, I am very concerned for the ability of volunteers there to handle a massive influx of new content. I am also concerned if you setup a trust in, say Egypt, that will put a damper on any efforts to form a chapter, which I know has been discussed. If done carefully and well, I would be very delighted to see outreach programs be a success for Arabic Wikipedia, and hope that will be the case. Cheers, Katie
