Wikimedia UK and Wikimedia Bangladesh collaboration
At the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin Stevie met with representatives from Wikimedia Bangladesh to discuss the potential of collaborating on a Bengali language project.
As an initial action this page has been created to exchange ideas and suggestions and work towards developing a collaboration.
The first idea was working together to reach out to existing Wikipedians who edit in Bengali Wikipedia. East London, especially, has a rich Bengali culture and heritage and a significant Bengali community. By working together Wikimedia UK and Wikimedia Bangladesh hope to connect members of the Bengali Wikimedia community and host an initial workshop, with a view to closer collaboration in future.
Wikimedia Bangladesh have been invited to comment on this page and co-develop a project. Watch this space for further developments and please do get involved in the discussion to help shape any resulting project.
