History
editThis Wikipedia was created in 2005,[1] thanks to the unusual collaboration between the Lithuanian Šarūnas Šimkus, then a teenager, and Paraguayan academic David Galeano Olivera.[2] The idea is to promote the usage and modernisation of the Guarani language.[3]
In December de 2012, Wikimedia Argentina published a booklet, "Vikipetã mbo’eha kotýpe", devoted to this version of the virtual encyclopedia.[4]
Several workshops on Guarani Wikipedia have been carried out throughout Paraguay, jointly organized by Wikimedia Argentina and Fundación Paraguay Educa (an institution working on the OLPC project).[5]
The University of Leipzig has elaborated a corpus based on Guarani Wikipedia.[6]
