Key thing to fix ASAP and that Lodewijik
could help is create a campaign for wlm-ke? whatever that is
to allow Kenya uploads count to WLM.

Alex,
Like we had earlier agreed, we had quite a really
short window of time to pull up the contest from getting
Sponsors., to getting Judges, criteria etc all in less
than 30days. But it seems the page redirects from wikipedia
have helped us loop in volunteers and from the other
Personal Volunteers i had pulled up who keep pestering me
about the contest, we can synch up a quick Criteria and
judging so that we get it up and running.
We can synch up on a wiki or anywhere to pull
this up by end of week?We can then pull in Lodewijik once we
have something. Get back to me on this? Hoping you are
still in Area Code 254? :-)
I suggest Steve keeps the Volunteers on the
Commons Page engaged through email and discussions on
how/what they could help
Way to go good people. Am happy a few good things
have happened in WMKE after a seemingly lengthy spell of
misfortunes. :-)

And very interesting to learn that the banner on any
Wikipedia Page in locale Kenya on "Wiki
Loves Monuments: Photograph a monument, help Wikipedia and
win!" redirects to the Wiki loves Monuments Kenya
Page in Commons.

Hi all,
several people (see link [2] of Stephen) have
indicated
they want to help.
Currently there are still zero uploads from
Kenya,
because it is not clear
to people how to upload. Who is in charge for
Wiki
Loves Monuments Kenya
(or who wants to take responsibility and get
things
moving)? How can I help
you to get the priorities straight and get things
done?
What is the bottle
neck?
