[edit] Arguments in favor

• Official Language of Ethiopia, nation of over 80 million population
• With the only native African script
• With a need for a more open and democratically created news outlet
• Due to prosecution in the country most of the free press media is closed and journalists are in jail or in exile. This journalists could have a stable medium to practice their trade in a free environment.
• thriving wikipedia and wiktionary community (the wiktionary though shows only few hundred entries the group has concentrated mainly in developing a working computer glossary to help with localization of computer related translations. In that regard there are more than 3000 entries already translated. see [2].)--Teferra 22:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
