Dear members of the user groups Tunisia,
my name is Paola Stablum and I am Project Manager at Media in Cooperation and Transition, a German NGO working in Media Development. I received your contact from Wikimedia Germany because we are starting a project in Sudan where, under one of the project's components, we aim at providing training on editing Wikipedia content.
According to Amazon figures, Wikipedia is the sixth-most popular site in Sudan, with internet users returning to the site up to three times a day. A large number of entries on the site, however, particularly the ones concerned with issues relating to rural areas, remain mere stubs, lacking reliable information and credible sources. Our action will address this gap by identifying and working with three Sudanese Wikipedia editors, who will then conduct a number of local workshops on editing Wikimedia content.
Wikimedia Germany indicated the Tunisian users group as one of the more active in the arabic section. Therefore, we would be really glad to get in contact with you in order to explore possibilites of collaboration.
The experience and knowledge of the Tunisian users group would be important especially in the first phase of the project (training the local trainers) and we would be really glad to discuss the details of our project over Skype or telephone with you.
I am looking forward to your feedback.
Best regards, Paola Stablum
