Dear Douglas I really appreciate your comment on the subject at hand. And to Felix, you are on point on all your suggestions.
Douglas, mentioned 2 key issues in your submission:
- Inability of the South African Chapter to host for now, due to short of
resources.
- The need for editors in Africa to be more active in their contributions
by way of editing and community activities.
This is my position:
Without any prejudice to the position of South African Chapter of WMF as the shining light of Africa in WMF. However, we need to understand that Wikindaba though conceptualized by South Africans but it's a project for all the Wikipedians community in Africa. Therefore, if we believed that it's not dead yet. Therefore, another country should take up the gauntlet of hosting the new edition . In doing this, we can follow Felix suggestion by selecting one person per affiliate to form a committee that will assist in planning and selection of a host nation.
Douglas, to confirm the growth of Wikimedia in Africa. As at the last Wikindaba, . If I am not mistaken, we only have Tunisia as the only User Group and South Africa as the only Chapter . But at the moment we have additional Three User Groups which include: Nigeria, Ghana, Cotevoire.
Lastly, if collaboration among these groups is strengthen through a continental wide activities. No doubt, more editors will be discovered subsequently our contributions will soar to the sky. A very good example is wiki Loves Africa

Hi @Flo,
We will discuss about an activity during the staff meeting of our User Group this saturday. So it's after this meeting we can share our project about #Wikipedia15.

Hello
No one answered that email :) I take it that no other plans have been organized for Wikipedia 15 beyond Tunisia, Ghana and maybe Nigeria ?
Just checking ...

Hello friends
I just discussed with the WMF team in charge of communication related to Wikipedia 15 and I was wondering which events were organized/planned in Africa to celebrate Wikipedia 15.
The central hub to discuss/organize Wikipedia 15 is here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15
I see two events recorded in Africa. One in Ghana, by Ghana user group, for a day ending with dinner : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_15/Events/Ghana One in Tunisia, by Tunisia user group, with a dinner celebrations (including WLM and WLA)
I am aware of the grant request from Nigeria
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Wikimedia_Nigeria_User_Group/Wiki...
Are there other events foreseen ?
Quels évènements/célébrations sont-elles prévues en Afrique pour célébrer Wikipedia 15 le 15 janvier ?
