Fellow Wikimedians...
After a few days of calls and trying to explain a lot on phone, today I did
my first visit which is the first day in a 2 day previsit. I managed to
visit 5 schools today and there might be more work than we think. The need
goes beyond just resources into the computer lab... there is no computer
lab, even in the schools where they teach computers.
*Shimo la Tewa High School:*
Nice reception of the idea, they are ready for us next week and they have 20
computers in their lab that are functional.
*Sheikh Khalifah*
Big computer lab, lots and lots of monitors (I think almost 40) and only 5
functional computers, which the computer teacher said he could not guarantee
that if we come next week they will be ok as they often break down and there
is no proper maintenance undertaken.
*Mombasa Light Academy*
I think the best computer lab I have seen around, 260 computers and a very
high class of students. All computers have internet access and students have
access to the labs and are actually allowed to bring their own computers and
use the internet which has some sites like facebook filtered. Feedback for
our project: They are way beyond us... so, we will not be helping anyone
with an offline version - even after I explained that we had a version that
was specifically filtered for educational purposes.
*Maweni Secondary School, Nyali*
Government school with only 2 computers for the computer lab, they asked if
we could source computers to equip their lab. If not, it doesnt make sense
to them.
*Oshwal Academy - Senior School*
Nice computer labs, nice reception too, I have an appointment with their
head of IT tomorrow to install on one of their machines so that they can
review and decide if they actually need it, but they are positive and it
will most likely be one of the institutions we cover. Computer lab has 76
nice computers.
On a general observation, we might need to get a little more ambitious with
our project by taking the challenge of looking for organizations willing to
support creating and improving of computer labs in our schools, am sure they
are there and with resources and time, we can surely get them and achieve a
very important goal. Meanwhile, tomorrow I have other 6 schools to visit in
the Mombasa city centre and I will have my final report on this tomorrow.

Hey guys,
The kakamega pilot project has been a great success so far.
We have visited 4 schools as at today and the feedback from the
teachers and students has been overwhelming.
Some challenges that I think we should brace ourselves for as we
probably go to Mombasa would include;
-some computers do not have USB ports!(they are too old)
-more flash disks because most of them have CD-ROMS yet the ZIM file
is on a DVD.
-the flash disks should have write protection key so that viruses do
not infect the flash disks
I would also like to notify you that I will be available for the Mombasa Pilot.
PS>Oska limoke's gmail account has been blocked by google due to what
they are siting to be maintanance reasons.

Hi all,
I've tried to upload to the Wikimedia Kenya page (under Projects) a
pdf-version of the Wikipedia for Schools User Manual which Limoke sent us on
this list. However, all I got was an error msg:
"The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver."
When writing in the wiki-edit pane, the screenshots of the document
disappear. Anyone more computer-savvy than me able to help?
Thanks,
Oliver (aka BT)
