Have we agreed on our meeting point yet? When we will commence with the project fully?

[Wikimedia-GH] Kobe & Georgina Please take note of this correction

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.

Thanks for the assignment. I think i will need a little couching on my role in this project. For a uploading of pictures i have no problem doing that. I think we can meet at accra mall, there are open places where we can meet and discuss the project into details. ---------- Sent from my Nokia phone ------Original message------ From: Sandister Tei <sandister(a)sandistertei.com> To: "Planning Wikimedia Ghana Chapter" <wikimedia-gh(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: Sunday, November 4, 2012 3:14:33 PM GMT+0000 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.
