Hi all,
I have only had minimal success in sending out e-mails about inactive
Wikipedias.
But then, most of the people I e-mail, I don't know.
I figure that if each of us knows two or three people who speak
languages of inactive Wikipedias, and we each tell all of these people
that we know that there is a Wikipedia in their language, the effect
would be much greater.
So, if you know anybody who speaks one of the following languages,
please tell them.
