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.
Cheers,

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*
