Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. I ask you as a member of the Programme Committee of WikiIndaba 2018 if you allow me to open the call for submissions for this important conference. The call for submissions is already available in https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2018/Submissions. If you still have any opinions on how to ameliorate the call, you can propose your adjustments and I will do them. If you think that the call is excellent, please answer this email and approve it. Dear Ms. Isla, I tried to reach you several times this week. However, I did not have any answer. Please confirm if the call for submissions is excellent now.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki

Hi everybody
I was asked from the Tanzanian group about upcoming WikiIndaba. When I open
the site https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2018, I find
it still with many empty spaces and some information in between.
Altogether I find the site not easy to navigate. To find the sub page where
to register is a challenge.
It is hidden at the end under "documentation" , I do not get it via
"Registration & Participants" where I looked for it. Maybe that can be made
easier?
3 more remarks:
a) there is a deadline for scholarships until Mid-January but "Apply for a
scholarship" leads nowhere
b) What to do with the many questions at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wik
i/WikiIndaba_conference_2018/Questions_for_application_form ? Copy the text
into an email and answer there? It is better to put some advice there.
c) we are asked to register interest for participation under the headline
"Questions and Needs" https://meta.wikimedia.org/wik
i/WikiIndaba_conference_2018/Questions_%26_Needs". That is not so clear
among the meany headings on the page that this is the one to start with
I wish for the team good energy in their preparations!
!! حظ سعيد
Cheers
Ingo - Kipala

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your answers. Absolutely, I have done all the required adjustments. But, I could not merge Part 3 and Part 4. The Call for submissions is now ready in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2018/Submissions. The submission template is also ready in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:WikiIndaba_conference_2018/Submiss…. Please review both pages and adjust them if there is several deficiencies. If the call for submissions is excellent, there are two options. We can open it now and then invite people to apply for the WikiIndaba Scholarships. We can wait for the Scholarships form to be created and then open the call for submissions and the Scholarships form in the same time.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your efforts. In the form I shared with you yesterday, this introduction was written:
"The Wiki Indaba 2017 programme structure is designed to create focused opportunities for conference participants to actively engage with each other about Wikipedia on the continent.
The program for the conference will be modelled after the theme "Building sustainable wikimedia communities for the benefit of Africa" and built along the following tracks; Critical issues and projects, Training and Discussions.
The main goal of the 2nd Indaba Conference is to focus its intent on activating communities and formulating a continent strategy that includes:
1. Building capacity for African Wikimedians
2. Fostering growth within the African Continent
3. Connecting Africans both within the continent and in the diaspora
In accordance with these goals and theme, the program will include paper presentations, panels, and a strategy session. Submissions will be reviewed and selected in advance by the programme committee. Please submit your ideas for a presentation below.
NB:Deadline for submission is 31st December, 2016."
I ask if you can merge some of the ideas evocated in this introduction into https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2018/Submissions before I open the call for submissions.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
