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!
