Good example by MTN South Africa
by Oral Ofori 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

We can really document #TheAfricanDream if other countries emulate this example where #MTN won't charge #SouthAfrica to access #Wikipedia http://lnkd.in/d7yyaSj Think of the amount of articles folks can get online via the wiki apps by taking advantage of such free online access :-) Greetings, Oral www.about.me/oralofori

Fwd: [Wikimedia Kenya] WiR at the Kenya National Archives
by rupert THURNER 22 Feb '14

fyi, a failed bid to be a WIR from kenya last year. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Asaf Bartov <abartov(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 12:28 AM Subject: Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] WiR at the Kenya National Archives To: "The discussion list for the Wikimedia Kenya chapter." < wikimediake(a)lists.wikimedia.org> I'm glad to hear about the interest from the national archives, and congratulate Abbas on his efforts bearing fruit. Do I understand correctly that Abbas intends to fill that role himself? A word of advice: please make sure you don't commit prematurely to something you might not be able to keep. E.g. if the plan relies on WMF funding, it is certainly too early to sign anything, before the plan was reviewed by the GAC and WMF and a grant was approved. I should point out in advance that we generally consider WiR's salaries to be the responsibility of the host institution, as we think the bigger benefit accrues to it. Nevertheless, context matters, of course, and this is not a "no", to be sure.
