Hi, idea sounds good but how to measure? We live and work in separate environments, eg working in English, French, Arabic, Afrikaans or Swahili. I definitely have candidates from Swahili wp, but nobody outside our biotope pobably knows them. On the other hand: if someone uploaded a few hundred photos to commons - of which hardly any are used so far - has that contributed to growth?
We need some more ideas for that. Cheers Kipala-Ingo

Hi all,
Wiki Indaba 2018 in Tunisia is approaching, and I just thought of something like *African Wikimedian of the Year Award *to honor African Wikimedian who has contributed tremendously to Wikimedia projects and its growth in Africa. We can have other award category too and this would also makes the event more colorful. What do you think?
Regards,
