Translation efforts could be a good entry point. We currently have no translation effort in Malay while we have a good one in Bahasa Indonesia, Tagalog (for Philippines) and some Vietnamese (probably with the first women I will record as translation coordinator). This, even if all first contacts I had for these languages told me "but everyone here uses English when doing computing". After initial talks, I managed to convince people that while this may be true for the people already working in IT, this is for sure less true for the average people in the given countries...and completely wrong in schools. So, I'd really enjoy to see a translation effort start in Malay and even more enjoy if it is lead by some women... (I did not mention Thai among the languages in that region because Thai is a big challenge for rendering, indeed....) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
