Huh, I didn't have intention to make anyone depressive. It's been call to action and you've just made one :)
Before I give one very nice report from languages list, I want to make one point... It is very easy to change the culture. It's easier than to make a good software and definitely much easier than to create the biggest encyclopedia in human history. Everything what we need is to change collective attitude from "we can't" to "we can". And whenever a fellow Wikimedian start thinking negatively, we should remind him or her that it's a wrong way of thinking. Yes, we can revive our spirit from the first half of the last decade and we can do that just if think it's possible. And it is possible, trust me :) ... Languages list suddenly revived. And during one day we've learned for three separate initiatives for building Wikipedia articles in a number of Latin American native languages. That reminded me that there are a lot of people in the wild willing to work on Wikipedia content, even in many languages which don't have its edition of Wikipedia yet. And we should start searching for them collectively. On Jun 4, 2015 23:41, "phoebe ayers" <phoebe.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > I need a break from thinking about things going wrong.
