Hi Amir,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Yes, it includes language wikipedia but we need to start gradually with them because of
their experience.

Greetings,
What made me happy this week was the establishment of Wikimedia Hub in two
academic institutions in Nigeria, University of Ibadan and Nigeria
Institute of Journalism. I want to thank members of my community (Wikimedia
User Group Nigeria) who made this happened.
Regards,
Isaac

What made me happy this week was the discovery of
some good scientific
imagery that was openly licensed!
The USDA has created a bunch of identification sites for species of
agricultural interest and released the images into the public domain.
I was looking for images of a particular mite and discovered the Bee
Mite site has released most of their images and all of their text to
the PD [1]. (I have uploaded to commons although done a bit of a hack
job on it). There are other sites which would also be a candidate for
batch upload, which are listed here:
http://idtools.org/identify.php
(anyone interested in molluscs?)
I have also discovered this Clinical Skills textbook licensed under CC
by 4 attribution.[2] I am in the process of adding some high quality
medical diagrams to articles on wiki. This same website hosts a bunch
of other open text books which may be a similarly good source of
content:
