Learning pattern for policies makers

edit
« Encore » by Roy Batty 82.

Building up a contributing community via recent communication actions is still in its infancy, a reflection is underway.

Towards the deaf community: The attitude is curious, observant, encouraging, but without ongoing contribution. It is possible that deaf people –who already master LSF– have little or no personal interest in contributing to a free LSF dictionary.
Towards the hearing but signing community: early weak signals show a more engaged response from this group, localized among these beginner or expert signed languages learners. The latter group's appetite for learning tools appears more energic.
External lessons: similar effect have been observed elsewhere within Wikimedia. The Commons:Stroke Order Project, Commons:Ancient Chinese characters project, open Chinese->English dictionary CEDICT are led and contributed by non-native speakers, mostly English and French learners or experts.

Conclusion: contact with and outreach toward deaf and signing communities is still superficial and need to be continued, but focus must be to support the first active contributors, Taliba31 and Roy Batty 82.
