No :)
It's still a manual thing and I had to manually create his graph. WMF
engineering is actively preparing a faster and friendlier version of this,
that would also come with pre-generated graphs per country etc.

Hi, everyone.
To my mind, the way forward is to find a project at least some of you
are
excited about, rather than make progress on the
formalities. That
project
can be anything at all -- organizing a regular
meetup or edit-a-thon, a
photowalk, finishing the school curriculum update project so we can
produce
a new offline Wikipedia file relevant for Kenya,
etc.
It seems to me that there is no substitute for a core of _active
editors_,
on either English[1] or Swahili Wikipedia[1].
That core would be the
basis
for most of the other activities. For example,
it's difficult to have
effective mass outreach if we can't connect newbies to _local_ editors
with
at least some experience and interest in tutoring
and supporting them on
their first steps, especially on the English Wikipedia which has very
high
standards that are challenging and confusing to
newbies.
So of the activities above, I would recommend thinking about ways to get
_you_, the core volunteers, more motivated about, or more _comfortable_
with, actual editing. A first step would be to identify what is the
main
obstacle -- know-how, interesting topics to
contribute on, access to
source
material, etc., and then we can all think about
how to remove that
obstacle.
Another fun thing to try, if you can have meetups somewhere with
reasonable
bandwidth (on campus? at the iHub?), you can
schedule a Skype/Hangout
with
different communities/chapters around to world to
exchange experience
and
learn about exciting ideas from other groups. In
my experience, it's a
fun
and interesting way to get [re-]motivated, and
I'm sure a number of our
international colleagues would be happy to be the teleconferenced
guests at
those meetings.
Just my two cents. :)

[1] English Wikipedia has about 35 active editors (5 edits a month or
more)
in Kenya. That's a good number to work with,
but it seems to me (do
correct
me if I'm wrong) that most of those regular
editors are outside this
mailing
list. If we could actually be reasonable certain
we have some of those
active editors interested in supporting additional editor recruitment,
we'd
sorry)
[2] Swahil Wikipedia has about 3-4 active editors
(5 edits a month or
more)
in Kenya, and about the same number in Tanzania.
