Hello Chiemezie This is a big problem across Africa ... we created WikiFundi to allow for digital skills and wikipedia skills development for offline situations. Take a deeper look at https://www.wikifundi.org/ to see if this works for your community and group. Let me know if we can help you further. warmest Isla On Mon, 5 Sept 2022 at 22:05, Chiemezie Atama <chiemezie.atama(a)unn.edu.ng> wrote:

Definitly Hello Chiemezie Please it would be lovely if you would sign up as members of the Wikimedians for offline wikis UserGroup. Specific link here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_for_offline_wikis This is a very informal and loose thematic based UG, in relation to offline. Its members are scattered around the globe. Its goals and missions overlap quite a bit with yours, but with a slightly different angle (yours focus on nomadism, whilst offline focus on... offline ;)) There is a mailing list too, as well as a recently created telegram group Congratulations on the involvement Florence / Anthere On another note... reading the roles of your UserGroup, I read that one of those is " To represent the[Wikimedia Foundation](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation)to the nomad." I advise against using those specific words. No UserGroup or Chapter represent the Wikimedia Foundation. I advise replacing it with something like "present the Wikimedia world to the nomads" - Le 06/09/2022 à 09:31, Isla Haddow-Flood a écrit : > You also might wish to check in first with the existing Offline Usergroup ... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects > > On Tue, 6 Sept 2022 at 09:29, Isla Haddow-Flood <isla(a)wikiinafrica.org> wrote: > >> Hello Chiemezie >> >> This is a big problem across Africa ... we created WikiFundi to allow for digital skills and wikipedia skills development for offline situations.

I serve a community where internet access is a big challenge. People have no access.
