Cool!
We could eventually put them in contact with Jesus Corrius and Dooteo
from the Catalan and Basque community.

I have news from the Sango project who is setting up its NL project
page, and the Bamaman community who will soon post its proposal here. I
think the Bamaman is funded or at least helped by the local governement.
Today however, I had to put on hold the Yoruba project set up because
the requester hadn't show up for more than three months. I put the issue
on "LATER". Maybe we will close it.

Charles.
