Hi all,
I've recently been appointed as a Wiki-in-residence at the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) branch in South Africa. One of my tasks is downloading and setting up a MediaWiki based website on the UNDP servers and installing plugins so that it works kind of like Wikipedia. Although I've read and watched some YouTube videos but I still feel I would need need assistance,
So I'm writing to find out if there's someone I can speak to who can give me technical guidance or a platform like social media ( Facebook, WhatsApp or Telegram) where I can get quick response should I get stuck.
Kind regards, Bobby Shabangu
