Hi --- an Indonesian Wikimedian here. I've followed the Balinese project since LangCamp 2012 <https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/LangCamp_2012> and I can vouch for their approval. The community is focused in Denpasar and has been well-supported <https://id.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pengembangan_Komunitas_APG_2019/Komunitas_Denpasar> by Wikimedia Indonesia in past two years; they even have their own community co-ordinator and regularly-scheduled edit-a-thons.
Should the Committee need to be in touch of any person in academia, I can refer to the Balinese Studies department <https://fib.unud.ac.id/pages/view/sastra-bali> at Universitas Udayana; although I think that Tjahja and Revi themselves are sufficient, they both speak and write Balinese to a level. *Ramzy Muliawan* linkedin <https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramzym> / keybase <https://keybase.io/ramzy> / meta.wiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Muhraz> On Fri, Sep 27, 2019 at 2:48 PM Jon Harald Søby <[email protected]> wrote: > I asked Biyanto Rebin from Wikimedia Indonesia, and he writes: > > Dear Jon, >> >> Yes.
