Good day! I am brand new to content creation/editing on Wikipedia (May 2012). So please go easy on me while I learn the ropes. I have read the getting started articles but no doubt will make some newbie blunders.

To begin with, I am interested in providing attribution and citation to Al Webster, a college friend, who developed and/or collaborated on some Cherokee font projects in the early 1990s. He also was involved with a project he called "Native Voices" which included making recordings of first-person Native American language speakers in an attempt to preserve those using HyperCard to build a multi-media dictionary. He was working on that project extensively at the time of his death. I am hoping to find within the Wikipedia community related projects that built upon some of his collaborative work.

I will update this with future project ideas as we go along. Dhorton78 (talk) 15:16, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

While researching material for the Al Webster article, I noticed that there isn't an article yet for Durbin Feeling, an expert in translating Cherokee and prolific author. I would like to work on that article to be sure his contributions to the Cherokee culture are part of the encylopedia.

Another interest I have is to locate some of Al's NativeVoices digital recordings and perhaps store them in the wikipedia archive project and make them available to the Al Webster article. --David M. Horton 13:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
