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
