[edit] Your questions about language help and interface

Hello again, Heiko. Thanks for the very recent addition to my talk page.

The Community Portal has in its second sentence a link to the te reo Māori page, where the Ngata dictionary is prominent (and the rorohiko one may be listed when one of us gets around to it - it is on my User page; I discovered it only recently). Grammar, etc, online is a little harder to find, but from memory I think at least one of the Portal links helps there. I should have another look. (If I had all the time in the world, I would transcribe (probably to Wikisource?) the whole of my 1894 grammar book instead of just tiny extracts!)

Interface: The founders of the site, who included at least two people with some ability in Te reo Māori, translated some. I've translated a little of the interface and even changed a bit of what they did. Our very good friend Node ue has done a bit too, as is fitting in view of his "mi-2" "status". He may do more, after he has attended to those five red links in "his" welcome message above!! As my status appears to be lower than his, I don't want to risk too much criticism. Until we get a "mi-3" or two, I'm not at all concerned to do more. Because of the history of education and culture in Aotearoa, 99% of the people who could reasonably be expected to contribute in Te reo Māori are perfectly competent in English too.

Finally a question for you - have you examined my contributions to "your" wiki? Most of them were soon after we "met", and you weren't contributing there for several days, so maybe you should look at my contributions list. I'm rather pleased with my Wikipedia:Wikipedians na Spraak, and I could do more calendar-related pages if given a little feedback on what I have done so far.

Fründliche Gröten! Robin Patterson 06:23, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
