Hi all,
I assume you saw my Whatsapp message and so you are updated. Until we
start having meetings and affording them, we would have to resort to
long emails.
*About Mailing list*
*
*
The emails will now come from mailing list given us by Wikimedia.
Our coordinator Rexford and co handle this list and so they will be the
best people to tell us what we gain from mailing lists and other how tos
about it.
*@Rexford* *@Oral* kindly enlighten us if you can especially with what
that “Digest” means
*Discussion and Talk pages*
*
*
I am happy to announce that we are really involved in a very resourceful
project. Wikimedia has all the infrastructure we need to run our
projects smoothly but the problem is there are so many we miss some at
times.
Let me introduce to you user talk and discussion pages. I have done some
explanations here
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Planning_Wikimedia_Ghana
Please let’s read. The key to figuring out Wikimedia is to read. This
will now be our discussion grounds. I learnt Wikimedia monitors all
these pages to see our progress and involvement.
*
*
*@Ato,*you articulated some views in the chatroom about how we can get
work done. I am inviting you to go to this
pagehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Planning_Wikimedia_Ghanaand put
that suggestion under the “Suggestions” segment. I will be glad to
assist with any questions you have.
*Membership*
*
*
It has come to my notice since joining Wiki that there are *3 types of
motivation* for this project. This is not an official categorization but
I see it.
1.They are members who like Wikimedia like to be associated with this
big name. Beyond that, they do nothing.
2.There are members who also love open source and creating and
distributing free educational and informational resources.
3.There are also others who are experts in a field and they want to lend
their expertise to chapter formation without necessarily contributing or
editing often.
Guys, as Acting operations manager, I can only sweat and dedicate myself
to those joining Planning Wikimedia for the categories 2 and 3.
*@Ato and@ Oral* have made it clear they belong to 3. Ato is our Act.
Advisor and Oral is Act. PRO
*@Georgina @Harold @Kweku* determine where you belong/ what you can
offer. So I know what to expect from you
I have also noticed once again that there are 2 levels of involvement
with the little research I have done.
1.Some Wikimedians are hard core editors/ contributors. Some have edited
and contributed 100000s of times. Amazing stuff. Some of such gurus are
NOT even members of a chapter.
2.Some people have just 100s of edits yet they work hard to hold the
chapter’s activities together in ensuring that 1000000s of edits come
from the countries where their chapter is based.
Please note that the Wikimedia Ghana’s chapter’s vision is to nuturing
people like 1. So *@Georgina @Harold @Kweku* y’all have been here some
days now. If you want to join 2., make me aware so that I can integrate
you in to administration properly.
I am diving into the About My School Project
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana/About_My_School_Contest
with all intensity. I need people who have sacrificed themselves that I
can call on. I don’t want to chase anyone.
Regards,
*Sandister Tei*
