In fact, Sandister has and is doing a great job.
All the pages she's created looks perfect and well prepared for this year's election. Personally, I never knew Sandis' such good wiki editing skills (why you hiding that? lol)
I'm IN!
I dey your back.

Hi guys!
I picked Moleskin notebooks from Wikimedia Netherlands.
They are mainly for incentives for top contributors to WLM and any other project that is coming up. Follow Fb and Twitter accounts for updates on all donations to us so far.

Thank you very much on behalf of Planning Wikimedia Ghana.
We will be posting pictures on Twitter and we will mention you.

Kobe and Georgina here is the link to the WMF blog where you will register and get inducted as bloggers on the WMF blog: http://blog.wikimedia.org/wp-login.php?action=register
Here is the WMF blog itself: http://blog.wikimedia.org
I propose that you wait for the press release of the #Wiki4Elections2012GH and create a blog post about it. When post is ready, via the register link and then you submit. I will inform the blog admins to edit and post it for you. I will guide you through the process. I already have an account and so I can help you with this.
Secondly, when I first joined Wikimedia, Rexford advised that projects shouldn't be taken off wiki sites and hosted elsewhere. Wikimedia should have all the attention and traffic. The blogspot blog specially for the project might not be a totally good idea. So I propose we as bloggers can talk about project on our blogs. Since I am the one among us three who has the license to use WMF TMs and logos you may not produce some of the content originally (eg Press Release) but you can copy from my blog http://techpressgh.wordpress.com/. That's what I can think about for now. Let's put breaks on the Blogspot for now. But for the WMF blog after registration y'all are now WMF bloggers in your own rights. You say whatever you want there.

Subject: [Wikimedia-GH] Georgina is in and other roles RE: Planning Wikimedia Ghana & Election 2012
So now we have two bloggers for WMF blog-- Kobe and Georgina; a photographer-- Bright; a Wikinews contributor-- Georgina.
Kobe and Georgina, which one of you is interested in being "Volunteering WMF Blog Aide"? To coordinate all other bloggers for the WMF blog? Let me know.
Also I have sent you both invites to join the PWMGH blogspot http://planningwikimediaghana.blogspot.com/. We will not be blogging there per se but I want to keep at as the hub of all our work since it is more easier to find your way around than wiki pages. Most of us except Rexford are newbies This project is more of a learning ground for us. We are a bit too late for Elections 2012 to now waste time exploring Mediawiki to build a more attractive and functional page. Blogspot for me is the way to go.
I want to put Bright in charge of orienting and aiding people on Commons about photography etc. He can take up "Volunteering Wikimedia Commons Aide" (VWCA for short) I think he took part in the WLM 2012, he should know how to upload by now.
Georgina, regarding Wikinews I will assign myself "Volunteering Wikinews aide" to help you and all others learn about the platform
So who else is helping out? Senam what do you want to do?
Rexford? You've been quiet
We also need funding. We have souvenirs to give out but at least we should be able to provide internet for ourselves. Any ideas? Who knows anyone at Glo, Vodafone? MTN?
We need a place to meet as well.

Subject: [Wikimedia-GH] Planning Wikimedia Ghana & Election 2012
Hello friends!
We have been quiet for a while. But with the coming Election
2012, we can embark on some useful projects and collaborations to contribute
what we can as knowledge/content creators.
It will also be easy to ride on the wave of the political
fever in the country to edit and contribute massively to Ghanaian content
especially those covering politics and development relevant to December 7. For those who desire to contribute and edit wikis but haven't been able to, this is your time to participate.
I propose a project: #Wiki4Election2012Gh
(#Wi4EGh) The hash tag speaks for itself. The campaign simply involves editing and creating Wikipedia articles and curating photographs for Wikimedia Commons that will profile political parties, competing politicians (flag-bearers and MPs alike) and constituencies. Basically summed up as Know Your Political Parties (#KOPP), Know Your Politicians (#KOP), Know Your Constituencies (#KOC)
We
want the electorate to see for themselves the situation on the ground. If we
can we will obtain photos from years back, not only current ones. We will
entertain no biases.
Via Wikinews we
should also publish every breaking news and election results.
We should also let the WMF know our progress by sending
reports to the Sign Post and Wikimedia blog.
Things Needed:
Official letters to political parties to provide all necessary info on politicians to be used in Wikipedia Articles
Press release of the project
Edithons
Internet for edithons
A place for edithons
Bloggers for Wikimedia blog
Writers for Wikinews
Volunteers for articles and uploads
Incentives for volunteers
Funds for the project
We need collaboration
with a news website
We also need
advertisement, letting Ghanaians know that such educational resources for
elections are available so they visit the pages and inform themselves with the
information.
So who is up for some history making, mark making, mother Ghana serving, educational project? Get back to me or Rexford and let's know who we can count on for anyform of support.
Ps
Rexford, forward this to Senam please. I can't seem to find her email address.
