Also, in response to a query: It is possible to register without paying
registration right away. If you click "Other Payment Options" you can
select one of those and we will settle up with you eventually. :-)

Betreff: [Wikimedia-l] A five-minute task new volunteers can do
An: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
I've just blogged about a five-minute task new volunteers can do:
http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/help-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons-transcribe-tex…
transcribing small pieces of text in images such as foundation stones
or signposts.
Please feel free to circulate that through your networks, especially
outside the existing Wikimedia community

Hi,
*First:*
Planning Wikimedia Ghana is on the BC Koforidua shirt as you may have
heard. I would like to thank *Ato *for this. Ato may be a Wikimedian but it
is not to be taken for granted, we are grateful for the exposure. Ato,
thank you as always.
*Next:*
The past weeks, irregularly, emails on how to do this and that for the
people who joined recently were sent to mailing list. Now we are going to
move into real editing.
I sent a link to a Google Drive document for members/trainees to give
details about themselves. The last I checked only one person had. By Friday
I will check again.
By that list I will assign tasks on revamping a popular article. I propose
Azonto because PWMGH for a long time had wanted to fix it. We will this
time, plus embed a video in it, as we now have permissions from Fuse's,
Gamilla's etc management to use part of their videos for that.
We will also invite senior editors in the persons of Rex and Enock to
request protection for the page against vandalism from the seemingly
Nigerians editors who are desperately trying to claim Azonto. There will
also be template adding and so on.
All of this is to show each other how to get stuff done on Wikipedia.
However *Chris* should note that now he can get directions as to how to
start an article for Gasmilla since he hasn't started by his initiative.
He is therefore exempted from the Azonto article editing since that's not
what he is here for.
*News:*
I was informed regular editor numbers have been good. Let's keep it going.
When the current newcomers makes progress towards 100 edits, I plan to halt
the training so we can now focus on getting to know each other well and
about our group well.
*Wikimania:*
Anyone heard about Wikimania London? Can you tell us what you know? Is
anyone preparing to go?
Regards,
Sandister Tei
