Hi guys, I hope everyone have a good rest after planning so much of the Wikipedia
10's meetup.
This is somewhat different from all the different emails that you might be getting
constantly from the replies to the Wikipedia 10's planning in Singapore. But I believe
we should not just focus on one subject(planning on Wikipedia 10) and forgetting about
other things.
Lets discuss:
What chance would we get to host a Wikimania in Singapore?
Seriously, I somewhat disagree with the fact that we are able to hold high hopes in
getting the chance of being able to host Wikimania. I have interacted with people from
other countries, with the weather similar to the US. With people saying: "15 degrees
is perfect" and "Singapore is way tooo hot for me".
We might have the world's best resources in making the Wikimania a memorable one, but
our weather is the only module that is affecting us! We don't have to discuss about
this now, but this issue will sooner or later arise.
How are we able to create a Wikimedia Chapter with such a small community?
Correct me if I am wrong, but we currently have less than 20 Wikimedians(let alone
Wikipedians) in the mailing list. Maybe the others are too lazy to join, but our goal of
this mailing list is to be able to get Singaporean Wikimedians to come together and plan a
Wikimedia Chapter in Singapore.
Try getting your friends(or your enemies. :)) to join this mailing list. Other than this
mailing list, we should also set up an IRC channel to communicate better. Maybe Terrance,
you can create one? Besides, shouldn't we create a website so that we can be more
informed with what is happening to Wikimedia in Singapore?
I hope these questions can kick start our plannings of Wikimedia Singapore.
