Dear Afrophone Wikipedians, I am pasting below some correspondence that Gerard and I have been having with Kibangula Mwanakisi, who is a member of the the...
This article appeared in The Herald of Zimbabwe yesterday, featuring our own Don Osborn: http://allafrica.com/stories/200612111042.html Cheers, Martin...
Hi Martin, Thanks for catching this and for the shout out. The quotes attributed to me are actually from webbased material I wrote - which is fine that that...
Hi Oliver, sorry for the slow reply. Yes this is basically what I have in mind. The form and detail of a drawing of course fit the need and context. I had...
Hi Martin, Thank you for sharing this, thanks to you and Gerard for the good counsel and ideas, and welcome, Kibangula. I think it is the kind of project that...
Thanks for your thoughts, Don. From the small amount of written Kibangubangu that I've seen so far, the writing system that they are using looks to use the...
How are 'legitimate content pages' decided on the wikipedia? Presently, the total number of pages on the Yoruba wikipedia on its special page is 357 whereas on...
... A page needs to have at least one link to be counted. Links are made using [[double square brackets]]. -- Peace & Love, Erik DISCLAIMER: This message does...
Yes! It can be done easily! I have just now done it, check out the interactive illustration at the Yoruba page, just as you described. Only took me an hour. ...
Great work! I see it at http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Eyaara . It might help (looking quickly at the edit page) if such templates had a <!-- -->...
The 4 image label templates I uploaded first are the only pre- requisite - using those, clickable image label-links can be positioned at any point on any...
So far, the results of this thread are promising -- I'm especially impressed with the {{image label}} template which works quite well for this kind of task....
Dear Mark, I think the illustration om your website would be perfect if you upload a modified version with all the text blanked out, then we could easily...
Hmm, you may be right about that. The original, to be precise, comes from Jacques Rongier's (1990) 'Apprenons l'Ewe'. In that Ewe course it appears with lines,...
Hoi, I read that there are localisations of the Drupal software in African languages. What I would like you to do is to make sure that these versions are also...
... You mean projects like drupal.co.za [1] ? I don't know if they belong to this list, but maybe you would be kind enough to fill in their contact form [2]...
Charl, Gerard, I'm working on a localization project that among other things seeks to collect such info (links, descriptions, as appropriate). It's organized...
Mark, all, Belated season's greetings and on-time wishes for a Happy New Year 2007! Here are a couple of items along the line of illustrations tagged with ...
I'm seeking feedback on the concept of an (informal) Year of Unicode in Africa. The idea is to heighten awareness of what Unicode is, why it's important for...
FYI, there's a really nice follow-up article by the same author in the same paper with some excellent quotes by Dwayne Bailey of the award-wining South...
This conference may be of interest. It is the kind of venue in which one could discuss: * Wikipedia in African languages * Online African language learning...
Dear Don and All, Hello and thanks for the excellent eforum and activities! I've been following the discussions in a quiet way to date, but will hopefully...
Please stop these project and let them strat from scratch on their own feet. You can't do anything special for them. Wikipedia needs volunteers not money. ...
Hoi, Featured articles from the English Wikipedia have been translated by Iranian professional translators to Persian. This is completely in line with the...
Hi, We have no problem with you or Sabine. The problem is translation quality. I don't thinkg university professors that have never seen a wikipedia article ...
Hessam,
1) this is not the list to discuss these issues
2) as said on Angela's talk page the Board will receive an evaluation of the Allame Tabata'i...
... Can you tell us what the right list is? I was very skeptical after Hessam's first post, but his second post seems both interesting and relevant. ... One...
Hoi, This list is not the list to discuss projects that are outside of Africa. There is a need for articles in other projects than just the Persian one. With...
