Hoi,<br>For the localisation of MediaWiki, we offer a maximum of 225 EURO for the localisation of languages from Africa, Asia and South America. As you may know MediaWiki is used for projects like Wikipedia. Today we finished the software to back port the localisations to the last stable release. This means that all the hard work that is done will also become available to the users of the MediaWiki software outside of the Wikimedia Foundation. <br>
<br>PS it includes among others more localisations for Khmer and Haitian Creole.<br>Thanks,<br> Gerard<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 20, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Marvin Demuth <<a href="mailto:marvindemuth@sbcglobal.net">marvindemuth@sbcglobal.net</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>The same statement could be made for Haiti.<br>
<br>
Dr. Paul Farmer and Dr. Jim Kim, the founders of Partners in Health,<br>
with model health projects in Haiti, Rwanda and other countries, have<br>
used pay incentives with poor workers in the clinic areas, with great<br>
success. They realize that poor people have to make a living.<br>
<br>
I feel sure that this same situation applies to many other countries.<br>
