Could you please do it for me? --Abbas.

We don't have a domain at the moment:-( is it possible to put it on meta?

Thank you so much;-)

Hi Bhati, I wonder whether the other initial members are members of meta, because I can't see their usernames.

I actually just copied and pasted their names. Some of them might have usernames.

My recommendation would be Kenya rather than KE. Asaf -- Asaf Bartov <asaf.bartov(a)gmail.com>

ok... I think Wikimedia Kenya sounds better... By the way, besides the mailing list page, what is the official URL? Sorry, just got on board recently... David.

Thanks for securing the domain. As for now, I don't think we need anything from WMF.

Hi all, I've been following this discussion with great interest and excitement. A couple of notes: 1. I've asked our tech team to secure the domain name for you. We can hold until you have a chapter set up. Let me know if you would prefer an alternative arrangement. 2. Jessie Wild (WMF's Strategic Projects Manager for Global Development) who is working on offline projects is available to engage with you on ways WMF could support the Wikipedia for Schools project. She is following along on the mailing list too. Let us know what we can do to help out - including possible funding.
