Dear all,
I thank you for your efforts. I was recently honoured to participate to the annual meeting of Wiki Project Med. However, I found that there is a lack of knowledge of what we are doing for Wiki Project Med in Tunisia although I am a long-term wikimedian. Effectively, on March 19, 2019, it has been 10 years since I became a wikimedian. I also found that a part of my speech about why we gave up contributing to Medical Wikipedia editing was not clear. That is why I decided to share with you a file in which you can find how Wiki Project Med works in Tunisia and what we have done until 2019 for promoting medical editing and usage of wikis in Tunisia. This file is currently available in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_TN_-_Wiki_Project_Med.pdf. I invite you to read it and provide us comments about what we do.
Yours Sincerely,
