Hi all,

This is a great idea! CAT Lab has a forthcoming project where we are hoping
to collaborate with more researchers who do computational social science on
Wikipedia in Global Majority contexts, something I care about deeply as a
Guatemalan-American who has worked with WikiLovesAfrica in the past. I am
very much in support of efforts to more explicitly establish those bridges,
so do keep me posted on how this goes!

All the best,

-- J. Nathan Matias
