Hi Bence,
This is really great news for us that we are celebrating the 11th
Anniversary with a new jest.
We were continued with wiki activities in Nepal though we were isolated
from the mainstream Wikimedia Movement, now we are not isolated any more.
This affiliation has encouraged us to move with new energy.
Hi Deryck, we are continuing with the activities (there are some
running programs like WEP and WLM) in this transition. Although we are
facing problems because we are not legally registered in any govt. entity
in Nepal. Even in getting funds from WMF.
The by-laws is approved by the WMN Board and now is under lawyer's
review. We'll translate it immediately after the revision and begin process
to get affiliation as National Chapter.
Thanks to all Asian friends for your moral support to us and Affcom
members for this achievement.
With best regards
Ganesh K Paudel
