Perhaps making the trainings a video series available on YouTube or elsewhere so that newbies who miss the initial training can simply look
it
up and get the training at any time.

Hi all,
I arrived in Cardiff yesterday. Settling.
Asaf sent the email below to the mailing list in response to the
question
I asked about our next move. The newbies, Asaf is the one that takes care of efforts in the global south/developing countries.
He said
"... I would warmly recommend course #1, i.e. focus on developing this group of eight's own wikiskills and editing experience. It is the only way to legitimately and responsibly represent Wikimedia in outreach
efforts,
partnerships, and to the media."
So far, no one has said anything so I will also add my vote to option
one
as Asaf has.
He also added
" I would personally be happy to help this group in any way, including
by
arranging for training or resources. Do you think you could get
together
(virtually or physically) and compare notes and on-wiki experience to determine what kinds of wiki skills or editing tasks you would like to tackle?"
In response, 2013/2014 year should be our "Teaching Year". We should accept to be trained further. We need some editors reaching 1000s of edits,
and
we need to fulfil our job of taking care of Ghana articles. We will keep publicizing the group at events we attend. New members are welcome. But for now, I also vote that it is time we as trainers get trained.
What do you say?

Thanks, Sandister, for this update, and all your efforts, and best wishes for this exciting new chapter in your personal path! :)
To your question (I note no others responded, on-list at least...),
I'll
offer my opinion: I would warmly recommend course #1, i.e. focus on developing this group of eight's own wikiskills and editing
experience.
It is the only way to legitimately and responsibly represent Wikimedia in outreach efforts, partnerships, and to the media.

I will be going to Cardiff University on 17/18 Sept. I quite excited
to
hear that an EduWiki Conferencehttp://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2013will
be
there as well. As usual, I will let you know what happened there if I am able to attend.
Now that the grant report is up we can focus on other things but I
want
to say congrats to us all. Pl. Wikimedia Ghana had just two active editors = Rex & Me. Now after the outreach where we met 100s we've supported ourselves to 8 active editors now.
Jaward, Enock, Claude, Nii, Rex, Me, Felix, Barima. Aren't we great? And majority of us are BarCampers so we need to buy Ato some alewa. We
all
know Wikipedia is hard work. So I am happy for the 8 of us.
I am also glad to say that some people are editing in the background but haven't been part of us. Some people have also shown interest but
don't
know where to start.
So I want to ask now, and we should vote on this. What do we do next?
- Should the 8 of us focus on developing ourselves and building our
editing skills and editing count? At least for some time before we go on outreach again?
OR
- Should we go on outreach again right away?
OR
- Suggest another plan bec
I am taking a break from the mailing list till the 9th of September
to
focus on my school preps. But please the weekly edit declaration
still
stands. I don't want to chase anyone. Rex and I are welcoming all
ideas
as to what we should embark on next. Please put your ideas in a proposal form.
