Dear Wiki Loves Africa team!
We are very proud to tell you that Wiki Loves Africa has been funded! Your country has been selected as being one of the focus countries for the competition. There is a lot to do before now and when we launch on the 1st of October ...
There are a few things that need to be done before we can get onto the real fun!
1. Please look at this list of guidelines on Meta to see what kinds of things you could consider as part of the Competition. Please chat with your team about it, and let me know if you have any questions: *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africa#Guidelines_for_Focus_Count... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africa#Guidelines_for_Focus_Countries* 2. We are currently creating the website. It is currently in English, but will soon be in French and Arabic (Abir, Habib and Mohamed we will need your help ;-)). www.wikilovesafrica.org (please understand it is in beta - we are still sorting out the instagram feed and other issues, but we welcome your feedback) 3. We have a section for each country on the blog. On this page we would like you to record events that will take place in your country, who you are working with (food organisations) and other things that are related to the competition in your country as they happen. If you can send me the name and email address of the person will be updating the country blog. 4. Let me know if the people reflected on this page are the ones that you are working with, and that the contact email is correct: *http://wikilovesafrica.org/about/ http://wikilovesafrica.org/about/* 5. Please also look at the Commons project pages and add your involvement, what your group is doing and when, and that the person who is currently down as the media contact is the correct person: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa
Thanks so much - Florence and I are really excited to be working with you! Please email Florence or I if you have any questions - and Rexford if you have any technical problems!
