Instructions could be provided in offline versions of Wikipedia and whatnot that would tell people to write a letter to some address (maybe they could provide a username in their letter). Volunteers could then scan those letters and upload a file attachment (and/or transcription) of that letter to the user page. When possible, such users could provide instructions on how to write to them. Ideally, I would imagine such a project being set-up outside of Wikimedia and simply providing for a way for people without write access to the Internet could do such a thing. However, in the meantime, I think setting up a Wikimedia by Proxy project separate from any one project under the Wikimedia umbrella could be a nice way to begin. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
