hi,
while this proposal will not add value for the blind, most likely (they
surely have their preferred solutions already), it may be useful for those
who do not have time to look for audio output, but would appreciate it if
it was available straightaway. I think there is some benefit in that,

I develop the features of MediaWiki that are tightly related to the
multilingual nature of Wikimedia projects, I want to develop these features
in a way that will benefit as many people and languages as (reasonably)
possible, so I want to know whatever can be known about what affects the
size of wi
Hi Amir
What exactly do you want from this? Is this just some personal
curiosity or are you going to do someting with it?
And by the way, you forgot bots - the article counts for some of the
WP are driven by bots - the Dutch WP, for example.

Hi,
It is well-known that the size of a Wikipedia in a given language is not
proportional to the number of people who speak that language. By "size" I
mean the article count and the active editor count.
This begs the question: Is it proportional to anything else?
I can think of a bunch of possib
I guess I see this as making it easier for people to generate files to put
on their ipod or for those with a limited ability to read who might not
have figured out more complicated solutions. Those who are blind have
likely already figured out good solutions. It is those of us who are
sighted that

I have used screen readers myself, and often sit on public transport
listening to reports and articles I never otherwise find the time to
read through. Audio screen reader apps are increasingly useful for
mobile and tablet access, it being hard work for someone who has
difficulty reading the equiva
Max Klein and I had a chat with someone from a similar group a couple
of years ago, and he reported much the same thing - the actual site
structure is pretty good for screenreaders and similar software, or

I have been told that people born deaf find more easy to read things in
sign language. I imagine it like the difference between reading something

We were discussing it with an association of blind people in Poland - and
they told us - that for them the most important thing is clear and logic
structure of the website - plain main text, menu/navigation in plain text

A couple of years ago I contacted a professor at the University of Siena
