Hi all, Finally Derick you did bring that extension to life. I will applaud your great work bro. Expect feedback from me as well.
concerning Gerald's Idea, I think we have two options
1) We can start our own community application (which off course will help us acquire more skills and promote the work among us )
2) We can create a telegram group.
WRT these, I am in for both yet I strongly believe that we can grow our own community application without any doubts.

I think @ Gerald just asked a very salient question are we creating a community app or we might just want to have a telegram group?
Your suggestions will be great.

Hello Perside R,
Of course there is more work on the project. I have requested for a phab work board and when it's ready, I will publish tasks around the extension for us all to work on. This is the first MediaWiki extension from Africa :). Let's make good use of it as developers and if there is any question or bugs found, just create a ticket on phab and tag "Africa-Wikimedia-Developers".
Thanks for reaching out and I expect more questions related to the extension and other tasks on the AWMD work board. We are curious to see the winners of this month :). Have a nice day
*Kind regards* *Alangi Derick N*

That may be true @Gerald but have you ever tried mass messaging users when you don't have mass messaging rights? Its a nightmare, this is useful in various ways and could be used right and wrong no doubt.
One of the highlights of this tool is its benefit to developers, the ability to send emails even from your local wiki is amazing!
Cheers,
