Hi! My name is Stephen and I am a volunteer with the Wikimedia foundation which runs various free knowledge projects with the most popular being Wikipedia. All these project are run using the Wiki technology. We also have a Swahili kamusi as one of the projects see [1] with approximately 13K defined terms. I have noted that your glossary [2] is skewed towards the tech related terms of which you might find some at 'our kamusi' whose link I provided below. I would really be interested in attending the round-table meeting that is in-case it is not closed for invitees/members only. Otherwise, you are really doing a great job to have an increased presence of the underrepresented languages on-line. best regards, Stephen. 1. http://sw.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mwanzo 2. http://ictglossary.wikia.com/wiki/FAHARASA_YA_ISTILAHI On 02/26/2013 09:57 AM, Barrack Otieno wrote:
Dear Listers,
The Internet Society Kenya Chapter has organised a roundtable at Pete's restaurant Bishop Magua Centre to discuss the Swahili / English Glossary Wiki the two organisations are jointly developing http://ictglossary.wikia.com/wiki/FAHARASA_YA_ISTILAHI. We have had interesting deliberations with content developers, social media developers and language experts, we welcome comments and thoughts from experts on how to improve the wiki and make it more relevant to swahili speakers.
Thank you
Best Regards
