Hi all,
I know it is too early to discuss WikiConvention, but I just got an idea: How about we organize an online editing contest, WikiLovesTunis or WikiLoveTunisia, similar to WikiLovesYerevan https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Yerevan_International_edit-a-thon that happened last year, during which participants wrote articles about Yereva related topics, and in our case Tunis maybe, and then the top 10 contributors got a free flight and accommodation for a weekend in Yerevan. In our case, we can give the top 3 for example scholarships to participate in WikiConvention.
The project will cost nothing apart of the scholarships that will be part of the the funds for the convention.
What do you think of the idea? I remember the output of the contest for Yerevan, and it was amazing: I think around 5000 articles in maybe 50 languages in a month!! When it comes to free trips, people get very excited to edit and write.
I can work on it in January if the idea is accepted. Have a nice day, Houssem
