[Wikimedia Kenya] upload WfS User Manual?
by Oliver Stegen 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi all, I've tried to upload to the Wikimedia Kenya page (under Projects) a pdf-version of the Wikipedia for Schools User Manual which Limoke sent us on this list. However, all I got was an error msg: "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver." When writing in the wiki-edit pane, the screenshots of the document disappear. Anyone more computer-savvy than me able to help? Thanks, Oliver (aka BT)

Just saw on the community portal (http://www.wikimedia.or.ke/Wikimedia_Kenya:Community_portal) that Samson has noted on Feb 9th already that upload functionality is not working. Anyone able to fix that? Thanks again, Oliver (aka BT) -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Stegen [mailto:oliver_stegen@sil.org] Sent: 28 February 2011 09:05 To: 'Wikimedia Kenya .'

[Wikimedia Kenya] Tomorrow's Meetup
by Abbas Mahmood 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

Hi folks, Just a reminder that we'll be having a meetup tomorrow at iHub starting at 10am. A lawyer from Mohammed & Lethome Advocates would be present to explain and answer any questions that we may have from 10-10.30am, so please be there on time if you are interested in getting some legal perspective of the registration process. I have just received an email from a Mr. John Wambugu who works at TSLG Africa. TSLG is currently involved in the supply and installation of multimedia laboratories to the Ministry of Education, Kenya. This project aims to equip 240 secondary schools and teacher training colleges with Education and Training solutions that provides a combination of Centralized, online (classroom) and decentralized offline (e-learning) multimedia solutions. Other solutions provided include Content Development System which enables teachers\tutors\lecturers to author own content including creation of exercises and content sharing. TSLG is looking forward to partner with us, and will therefore be present at tomorrow's meetup so that we could brainstorm and discuss possible ways of collaboration. The TSLG officials will be at iHub at 10.30am -- probably after we are done discussing the bylaws. I am aware that this new development has arisen in such short notice, but that's because TSLG has sent me intel regarding their attendance very recently. My apologies for that. Other matters to be discussed at tomorrow's meetup are included in the Google Doc that was shared some time back. See you tomorrow:-) SincerelyAbbas. -------------------------------------- Feel free to contact me: Abbas Mahmood Tel: +254722215101 Facebook: abbasjnr(a)hotmail.com Skype: abbasjnr Wikimedia Kenya Member "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.

How about we work on the content without the format on Google docs then when we have a final draft, we can add some formatting to it.... Alex.

[Wikimedia Kenya] Your reaction concerning recommendations by Nakuru Schools
by Isaac K. Kosgei 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hi guys, Earlier this week I sent you a report about our trip to Nakuru schools.I am concerned that I have not seen anybody react to the recommendations put forward by the schools we went. There were major points raised by teachers especially concerning sciences and also the missing swahili. Whats your take and how do you plan to address that? I wanna hear from abbas,oscar alex and the others. Btw way am I the only one noticing an issue of gender imbalance? Or is it that the ladies in our team are not active -- Isaac K. Kosgei.
