Dear All
I hope you are all well?
We are starting to think about the theme for the Wiki Loves Africa 2015.
There are many ideas from the organising teams, but not one clear winner.
So we have put together this page for the community to propose an option
and to consider and discuss what has already been proposed. There are
already a few ideas on there. We want to get some more. Please feel free to
either propose a theme you are passionate about AND/OR add you thoughts
about the practicalities, challenges and suitability of each theme that has
already been proposed.
The ability to propose a new option and discuss the existing ones will
close on the 31st May. Voting for each theme will open on the 1st June
until the 30th June.

Please send this out to your local communities. We will also post the page
and each idea onto Facebook.
Warmest
Isla (user:Islahaddow) and Florence (user:anthere)

We now have a bot that automatically discovers newly created cat:Ghana articles.
catscan2 went down some months ago.
Maybe this might be useful to someone here too?

About 5 members so far have gone to edit articles sent to the mailing list.
Thank you. I am tempted to enter you into some kind of draw for free
Wikipedia Tshirts (ie if you don't have one by now). But keep it going. I
will surprise someone one day.
Any ewe speakers, linguistics gurus and historians in the house? Can you
please proofread this and see if we are on track?

I also want to share with you Wikipedia's main live chat where you can go
and chat with someone for help on an article you are editing. Try it today!

If you want assistance closer to home, reach me via viber on the number in
my email signature or write me an email for one on one edit teaching
sessions at iSpace in Osu.

Greetings all,
I am pleased to announce that next week Tuesday the 12th May, 2015 i will
be departing from Ghana to represent the community at the upcoming WMCON 15
in Berlin scheduled for 15th - 17th May, 2015.
The purpose of this gathering is for the leaders of the various
affiliations to meet discuss community problems and challenges and find
possible ways to address such issues. Also discussion on the way forward
for the movement and other crucial matters are addressed.
We humbly ask that you share your problems as a Wikimedian or on any other
thing that you think is just not right in this community or the movement.
We will be glad if you can share all your sentiments through this form
