I once had an idea, that we could set up a Hopi
Wikipedia, and then
work on promotion of it on Hopi, get elders and teenagers involved,
try to get middle-aged people involved as well, and eventually hope
for 90% community involvement of Hopi speakers. When such a point is
reached, it is a virtual mirror of the real-life community, except it
is also working towards building an encyclopaedia.
Instead of only reporting on your hopes and dreams, I wish that you
would, once each month or so, take the time to report on what you have
indeed accomplished. Which new language Wikipedias did you succeed to
get started, and how many articles have been produced there? So far,
I get the impression that this number is zero, and that surely must be
wrong. So please enlighten me.
Unfortunately I don't have the time or the
resources to begin such a
project,
But you certainly have the time to write a lot of messages on this
list.
Please, POLITESSE! Let's play the ball, not the man! The question is whether
or not such small projects can succeed, not what mr. Williamson does in his
free hours or which of his projects succeed(ed).
