Hi all, as you know our wiki site is the converging point of all our
discussions, where every progress should be recorded. If one wants to
evaluate our progress, the first site they will look for information is our
Wiki. If i am not wrong, this is what many will use to see our seriousness,
the Wikimedia Foundation Chapters' Committee inclusive.
It is for this reason that I am abit concerned about the amount of content
in our website and how frequently it is updated. It is clear that there are
many discussions we do over the mail and is not documented in our wiki. It
is also clear that most of us are busy and we dedicate little time to our
wiki. I suggest that we start giving priority to our wiki for discussions.
For example, when discussing an important issue, we could create a page for
the issue and hold the discussion on the Talk page of the page. We could
also use the main page talk page for other general discussions.
About the frequency of updating the wiki and the general organization of the
wiki in general, Manuel and Asaf could be doing that but I can imagine the
amount of work they have, plus they are not in Kenya and may sometimes not
have first hand information regarding many events. From now on I will
dedicate as much time as I can to organizing the general look of Our
Wiki<http://www.wikimedia.or.ke>for ease of accessibility of the
articles as well as catching up with and
tracing back our progress.
On the same note, I would like to urge all of those who do not have accounts
with Wikimedia Kenya <http://www.wikimedia.or.ke> to create accounts by
sending the username you would like to use to Asaf
Bartov<asaf.bartov(a)gmail.com>or Abbas
Mahmood <abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com> and they will configure the account for you.
Have a great weekend guys.
