I don't think it needs to be done in any way that might be contentious. We (the
members of this movement) all share a roughly similar vision, and realise that
attracting new contributors (whether they speak English, Polish, Irish, or even
Huttese) is essential to to keeping that vision alive.
It would be interesting to find out how the proportion of the Polish population
in the UK that edits Wikipedia (in any language) compares to the overall
proportion of UK residents who edit Wikipedia. It would certainly be
interesting to try to do some outreach to non-English-speaking groups. Not
necessarily easy, but worthwhile...

Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Polish becomes England's second language
I can see a case for Wikimedia or Wikimedia Poland doing something about that.
But I would advise against a UK based organisation trying to involve itself in
the Republic, especially on such a contentious issue as the second language of
Ireland.
