Difference between revisions of "Interested communities"
Interested communities gather and share pointers toward linguistic communities or actors who expressed interest toward LinguaLibre recording. Those communities could be individuals or organisations, from Wikimedia, academia, civilian associations and cultural activists. These pointers are shared below in order to avoid loss of those valuable contacts via a low 'bus factor' on our side. Emails are not to be displayed, but organisation, individual names and links to webpages and discussion are welcome.
