You didn't! I was thinking of other unrelated things. :)
Glad to hear that :) I mean, at least I am not the cause...

Very cool! Which languages?
Global Voices folk are going to Bogota and one Wayuu speaker will join
them. We have incubator project.
Similarly, French Wikimedian Sylvain Mailler is working on Kichwa Incubator
and he has access to native speakers, as his wife is Kichwa (from Ecuador).
Canadian doctor and Wikipedia activist James Heilman is working on medical
articles in Guarani, Haitan Creole, K'iche', and Quechua. Except Ki'che',
we have projects in all other languages.
Translation companies are donating those translations, which opens
interesting area, that we didn't explore yet.
