Hello
I´m contacting you from Georgia (Europe), i´m presenting myself as member of Georgian Internet Alliance. We have some plans around one project about Open Source Software, Community Portal, support and open documentation & etc. Maybe we can help wikipedia/wikimedia to make it´s mirror on our future server in Georgia to help local visitors view wikipedia much faster, effective. We need to know, how is possible to make only ka.wikipedia.org-s mirror for first step and then whole your database.
We are officialy working under translation of KDE, mozilla, opera, & other free software. Currently we are now little busy to work under translations, while we are organizing several projects and portals but i think it will be done with mediawiki translation in a week. Main programming-specific part is already done, but i have not uploaded it on sourceforge yet.
Also we want to help wikipedia editors to communicate - we will create special section and we also plan to add mediawiki engine for local tests, to help users.
Sorry for my broken english.
Please contact us (me or Mr. Gia Shervashidze) in the forum on http://www.gia.ge , at right top corner u may switch language an then goto forum´s section (it may be under construction/beta-test stage).
