In general, yes, most definitely.

In reality, we need to have speakers of the language, and people from the 
appropriate geography, involved so that it's not just English people promoting 
them. ;-) Finding those people has proved to be very tricky in the past (as is 
currently being demonstrated by the few people that have signed up or left 
apologies for the Edinburgh wikimeet this Saturday,

Thanks,
Mike
