Hi Rexford,

...

My name is Rexford. Myself and a couple of friends of mine are currently working on making a list of monuments, forts and museums here in Ghana (where I live).

We've come up with the list of many of the forts, monuments, and museums, with pictures attached to few.

Please view where we've reached so far here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana%E2%80%99s_material_cultural_heritage

This could be an area where Wikimedia chapters in Sweden and Denmark could create some activity, based on these countries' 17th century involvement in slave trade and colonialism (in Denmark's case until 1850).

I was previously on the board of Wikimedia Sweden, but left that position in February this year. But I think they are constantly looking for new interesting projects, especially when it comes to international collaboration. Here is also a possibility to collaborate with Swedish and Danish archives and museums.

Hmmm... Nice suggestion there. Sounds really great. In fact, we, in Ghana, planning a wikimedia local chapter is currently open to collaborations.

But since we're kind of 'newbies' to this whole world of wikimedia, maybe sharing some nice guidelines on how we should go about the collaborations will be much appreciated.

Rupert (copied; WikimediaCH) introduced us to WLM and he's gradually guiding us through.

For me, any collaborations are welcomed, and we're ready to learn more of how to make that work.

I don't think its a bad idea that other initial members of planning wikimedia ghana wouldn't love to get involved.

Thanks.

;-) Happy Wikimedians
