Probably also an excellent time to consider whether we can do anything for those languages which don't have wikis yet.

With the release of Unicode 8 with Sutton SignWriting in June, these may or may not kick off in a big way. cheers stuart -- ...let us be heard from red core to black sky On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 12:34 PM, Oliver Keyes <oke...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Agreed!
