  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?

 Regards,
 Sandister Tei

  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 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

 Cheers,

  I will be going to Cardiff University on 17/18
Sept. I quite excited to
 hear that an EduWiki
 Conference<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2013>will 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?

 1. 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

 2. Should we go on outreach again right away?

 OR

 3. 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.

 Regards,
 Sandister Tei
