I have been a Wikimedian since 2005, serving in various roles throughout the years; my home wiki is the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia, but I am also active in several other sister projects, including especially the Wikimedia Incubator, Wikidata and Wikisource, and as a tech contributor. I have been part of the Wikimedia language committee since its inception in 2006, and since 2016 I have been a full-time employee of Wikimedia Norge.
Session
In order to get approval for a new language edition of a Wikimedia project, you need to start a test project in the Wikimedia Incubator to show that there is a viable community for your project. This session aims to teach and demonstrate how you actually get started, and give some tips and best practices for new communities.
