The title should read "Wikipedia for Schools Project". I honestly don't think that this is an issue that needs consultation. See attached doc for for clarification.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] Need for a structure
If you all agree I am about to move the page to "WIKIPEDIA PROJECT FOR KENYAN SCHOOLS".
On the same note, I wanna talk to Wangai as soon as possible (His area looks empty), so anyone who has his phone contact please send it to me

Hi david,
We so named the page at the initial stages when we hadn't expanded our thoughts to include the online version concept because the original idea is that we each out to those schools that could not afford the internet costs to access online Wikipedia.
However, since we have now diversified our idea to include the idea of the online version, we can easily move the page to the new title. Let me get the go ahead

Guys,
i think the project should remain as "Wikipedia for Schools Project" since we can have both offline and online versions depending on resources.

Hey guys,
Just updated the schools project wiki to reflect the duties guys are going to take during the pilot. The list isn't complete so feel free to chip in. Here's the link:

I recommend working on the structure on the Wiki. That way, the proposed and current structure are documented in a central well-known place, rather than in a particular e-mail message.If anyone doesn't have a user yet, please e-mail me (or Abbas) with a desired username and you'll get one.Cheers,Asaf

In any large organization, division of labor has always proven more
effective and it gives room for specialization which leads to
effectiveness. That is why the idea of coming up with a structure is
important and needs to be effected as soon as possible. Not everybody
can do everything. There are those who have links and are bold to
approach people for new networks, there are those who are very good at
the field and could be involved more in the implementation of
projects; there are those who are very good on the online stuff and
could help publish ideas, coordinate events online and spread the
gospel of Wikimedia Kenya...etc.
The roles as assigned for the pilot project is a good start, and I
wish u success in everything.
--> I accept my role as assigned by Abbas...
