Language-Based Collaboration[edit]

On one side, we can have country-to-country collaboration (the most conventional one). But we can also change this point of view to be collaboration with countries that share the same official language (or its subdivision for some), thus a joint collaboration of particular language version of Wikipedia.

Formalizing ESEAP Hub[edit]

As was discussed the formation of a regional hub to support local communities is something we a community should pursue. To do that we need to adopt a small group of coordinators to be contacts, to facilitate communication, organize meetings, and ensure that ESEAP has reliable consistent channels to the global community.
