Azonto editathon: We start editing tomorrow.
by Sandister Tei 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

I mentioned that we will start editing on the user talk page. Until a physical meeting becomes necessary, Google hangouts or Facebook groups will serve us well. Due to recent increase in internet prices for those on Vodafone, I suggest we use Facebook group chat for discussions that don't require video. Join this Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/243782009088573/. We are starting with the Azonto article which will be fun for us all. Our main focus: To insert appropriate links into articleFind free usable multimedia content for article (Video clips, Audio, Images) eg President Mahama doing the dance with some children.Performance of Azonto tracks on the chartsSomething about Sarkodie and so on. Please let's agree on a time and edit. I propose 8pm Tues/Wed/Friday/Thur etc What do you all say?

Message board winners, sandboxes, watching a wiki page etc
by Sandister Tei 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

I am happy that you have found your sandboxes and you have learnt to sign your comments. The winner will be announced on twitter and our facebook page today. However the winner gets to choose 1 other person to receive something. So I encourage more people to locate the sandboxes, type the text so the winner can choose them to receive a prizes too. Check the message board. I left a message. Usually you receive notifications when a wiki page you are active on has been edited. Please read the email and visit the page to see what has changed there. If you don't get notifications, scroll to the bottom of the page in edit mode and select "Watch this page" That way if you are a contributor to an article, you can keep an eye on it.
