Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] [Wikimania-l] <-- WikiDragon alert

I'll support Kenya if they really go for it. I am subscribed to the WMKE mailinglist but didn't notice a mention of any Wikimania plannings. Also I am unsure, given the amount of ressources needed that Wikimedia Kenya could make a bit so soon. Anyhow, as stated above, they have my support if they go for it. /Manuel On 23.10.2011 14:36, Mateus Nobre wrote: > hahah Manuel, > But U.K. and Kenya haven't made yet the bid, But I think they'll be hard > to match candidates. > > Wikimedia Kenya will make a splendid bid, don't doubt it.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Setswana Wikipedia Challenge
by Limoke Oscar 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hey Guys, I delivered the training for the above in Botswana and it went really well much against my initial fears :-). I would have loved to give you guys all the neaty-gritty details and juice of my trip but am sorry am really caught up with my academic work and I will have to postpone that...my apologies. Generally there was lots of enthusiasm from the students and lecturers as well about Wikipedia., and I hope this will seed a Wikipedia Community in Botswana. I will be happy to respond to any questions from members but will make the detailed report at a later date... Best -- Limoke Oscar,

[Wikimedia Kenya] Wiki takes Nairobi
by Kosgei Isaac 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi guys, Sorry to be so silent I have been busy with my new Job and getting to fix one or two things around. So My take on Wikipedia Takes Nairobi is that we should not postpone it again, lets do it this November. Today I had a lengthy discussion with Eric Latiff and he suggests that we have a one week Hype/ promotion before we launch it. he is also Ok with the prizes and the venue and he suggests that we promote it via Social media. I had a meeting with another Journalist friend of mine from Us working for the Huffington post yesterday and they will be glad to write an article and post the results of the competition. Over the last week I have been discussing with Iolanda Pensa from Italy and she also says that Domus magazine would be really interested in publishing the results of Wikipedia takes Nairobi. Domus is a quite well-know magazine specialized in architecture and design in Italy. Regarding the sponsorship of the competition I had a discussion with Alex about it today and we are awaiting the reply from Wikimedia France. WMUK are also willing to sponsor I had a discussion with their chair today. Wishing you all a nice evening and lets all work to make this a reality. -- Isaac K. Kosgei.

[Wikimedia Kenya] WikiSaturday
by stephen wanjau 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi nice people, I hope this finds you well. I would suggest that we have our Wikisaturday during the last Saturday of this month, that is, 29th October 2011. For those who are new to this mailing list, the Wikisaturday is all about editting the largest online encyclopedia, Wikipedia in either of the 280 languages. It shall also present an opportunity for Oscar to show us what he learnt as he set-up the Setswana Wikipedia challenge. I would like we suggest the venue and set targets for our edits. * To start us off I would suggest we start by finishing up on the translation of the fundraising FAQs, the Brandon letter and the Alan letter into Swahili. Mark you, the fundraiser is slated for November. --And thats not all, feel free to ... [?] regards, stephen. iwanjau.blogpost.com @uwanja www.facebook.com/swanjau

[Wikimedia Kenya] Kiswahili tongue twisters
by dennis munene 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

I was going through Wikiquote today and noticed that there are no tongue twisters in Swahili [http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Category:Tongue_twisters]. Maybe someone can start the section for 'Swahili' and the rest can contribute with the few they might have. I would have created the section but i don't know how to.
