I'm glad to seeing reasons why Wikidaba should continue. In my opinion, I think there
is need to plan ahead of next year, perhaps decide on who will host "Wikidaba
2016". Isla Haddow-Flood and Florence Devouard, what do you think about
"Wikidaba 2016?

Well this has been a question always on my mind.Wiki Indaba was a success irrespective of
other matters arising I strongly believe it shouldn't be a one time thing.I understand
it was made a biannual even meaning it should happen next year.Are there any such plans in
place?

asked myself why we couldn't organize such a meetup for African Wikimedians again but
I couldn't find any brilliant answer to my question. Is Wikidaba dead? Although, I
never participated in the maiden edition but my colleagues returned to Nigeria with a
motivating experience. This year is almost over but we can plan against next year.
Let's not kill the spirit of Wikidaba!!!
