Hello Everyone!
Hope we're all doing great? Africa Wikimedia Developers is a group now on the Wikimedia Resource Center (WRC) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Resource_Center[1], you can see that here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connect/Africa_Wikimedia_Developers. There are a lot of things you can do with this group;
* We can ask our questions and expect to get an answer and the list of questions will be available for others to read. * We can connect with other Wikimedians and work together on what interest us (individually). * Hey, writing on Meta (there on the group) also increases your edit count on the wiki :D.
Feel free to reach us on WRC Connect[2] with your questions anytime and we'll do our best to help you out. Also we'll build these conversations as time goes so that we use the information in the future to help the younger generation.
*NOTE:*
When trying to make contact to ask questions, check the best possible platform in order to get your questions answered on time and in the best possible way, see below;
* Mailing List https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/african-wikimedia-developers : Maybe quick but generally slow but very reliable as someone will see and definitely answer but the questions are not searchable after a while and may get lost.
* IRC : Quick but not very reliable as people may be away and you may also leave IRC when someone answers the question so you would not see the response. But this place is best for holding meetings where everyone is available at a particular time :)
* Wikimedia Developer Support https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/ : I believe in this platform and it's reliable. Also, the questions can be used by others in the future as reference so (very recommended).
* AWMD Group on WRC https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connect/Africa_Wikimedia_Developers : Quick and reliable as I'm watching that page and will always give feedback to any questions that come in. This is a focused group so if there is anything related to AWMD, ask here and if it's Developer related, ask on the Wikimedia Developer Support :)
