I have no objection to a Roman alphabet version of editors wish to create one.

Hoi,

Thanks,

[Langcom] Looking for a path to approve Chinese Wikiversity

[Steven White]

Chinese Wikiversity is far and away the biggest project in Beta 
Wikiversity—over twice as big as any other project there. Interface translation 
is, of course, complete in Chinese.


The stumbling block has been getting three REGISTERED users for three 
consecutive months. At this point, we have had three REGISTERED users in three 
of the last four months. Additionally, over the course of the last seven 
months, all months without three registered users have had two registered users 
plus an enormous contribution from IP user(s).


Given that the Great Firewall complicates things in China, I'm inclined to try 
to move in the direction of an approval now. Yet the fact that so much of the 
recent work has been done by IPs—meaning that it's hard for people to hold the 
contributor(s) accountable—gives some pause. So I'd like to propose the 
following:


Let's try to get someone who is a known, trusted user to look over the 
material. I don't think that person needs to confirm that the language is 
correct, and I don't especially think it's our business to try to judge 
quality. I would simply want this person to confirm that this large IP 
contribution to the project (a) is not clearly biased, nor (b) represents an 
edit war between different points of view. If our checker thinks there is a 
problem we won't approve. If not, maybe we can go ahead.


Among LangCom members, the only who advertises at least level-3 language skills 
in Chinese is André Müller. So if possible, André should be the checker. If 
that's not possible, I'm going to propose User:Hydriz. There are no stewards or 
global sysops with fluency in Chinese. But Hydriz is a global rollbacker, a 
sysop on Incubator, and a MediaWiki developer. So I think he's a reasonable 
alternative candidate.


What do people think?

Steven

 Hey All

Am wondering if the occasionally teleconference would help with
coordination of efforts? Realize that with us being in all parts of the
world people will not be able to make all discussions. But wondering
peoples thoughts on if it would help develop processes to deal with the
backlog? Additionally not sure how many people will be at Wikimania however
that could also be a good time to meet.
