[Foundation-l] A Wikimedia project has forked

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
With the strategic plan it is clear and obvious that the WMF intends to
expand. It is clear that India and Brazil get serious attention. With the
creation of the "localisation team"  there is now substantial attention for
language issues and language technology. This will make the technological
gap between languages using the Latin script and languages that use other
scrips like Hindi substantially less.
Thanks,
      GerardM
