Discussion on Wiktionary
I reached out to the top 10 contributors of Nepali Wiktionary and wrote messages for collaboration on the discussion page of each contributor. As a result, I could hear back from two of the contributors. One was a non-Nepali speaker, but he provided me positive feedback along with a link to a discussion forum of the Nepali community on Wiktionary. I also heard back from another contributor and he showed interest and he has been following my Nepali NLP Forum page on Facebook as well.
Press Release on Facebook
I finalized the press release (https://nepalinlp.org/nepali-nlp-initiative/) and uploaded it on my Facebook page to invite people to collaborate to build Nepali Wiktionary. I have been receiving lots of appreciation for starting this project and taking this initiative to make the Nepali language thrive in the 21st century.
Inviting more people to Nepali NLP Facebook Discussion Forum
I have been inviting Nepali speakers who may be interested in this project to collaborate and help in building the Nepali Wiktionary. Up to now, I have 44 followers on this “Nepali NLP Forum” Facebook discussion page. I have come to know about a Nepalese person who has been involved in building Wikipedia having all the information about Nepal. I reached out to him and I am meeting him soon to discuss and receive feedback from him on how I can take this project ahead. He would have gained much more experience in recruiting people to build Wikipedia so, I believe that he can provide great insights and approaches to recruit people for my project and accomplish my mission.
