Hi all,

Once you have identified an organizing committee for the conference, I would like to set up a call to discuss the first steps planning a conference, and talk through application processes.

Best,

Dear All,

WU NG is putting her wait behind the annual hosting and I think Ghana Team, should come up with their time plan asap so that we can move forward on this discussion.

Thanks.

I agree. Annual or at least biannual should be the way. Initiative from Ghana very welcome and refreshing after months of wailing.

I agree with the others … 4 years is far too long to wait. I think that you can only have it every year or every second year, or not at all. Too much happens in a year for us to wait 4 years for something.

I fully support holding Wiki Indaba this year, and well done Ghana!!

Lastly I think it will be in our own interest to have a body (committee) that confers with the entire community and show responsibility for Wikindaba.

Hi,

Messages coming through the list of size more than 80kb will be discarded.

Ways to keep messages less than the 80kb threshold is to include no footer
images, or embed any form of images in the message. Any images you want to
share, please include a link to them in the email instead.

thanks

Would not it make sense to actually adopt a similar size limit than the
one used on most Wikimedia related mailing lists ?
