WIL is the coordinating body for the promotion and development of > indigenous on Wikimedia projects. > > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Indigenous_Languages (or just > search WIL on Meta) > > Wikimedia Indigenous Languages' vision is to see the sum of the knowledge > available to everybody in their own languages and to share the knowledge of > those languages themselves. It will achieve that by: > > - Reaching indigenous languages speakers for the development of Wikimedia > projects in their language > - Establishing working cooperation with outside organizations involved in > the promotion of indigenous languages > - Creating and expanding Wikimedia projects in all indigenous languages > > Wikimedia Indigenous Languages' role is to support and encourage the > efforts of specific projects to develop Wikimedia projects in small and > endangered languages. It will serve as an international body to collect and > share best practices, lessons learned and methodology to develop small > languages Wikimedia projects and preserve endangered languages.
