[Wikimedia Kenya] Available for Mombasa Pilot
by stephen wanjau 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Hey guys, The kakamega pilot project has been a great success so far. We have visited 4 schools as at today and the feedback from the teachers and students has been overwhelming. Some challenges that I think we should brace ourselves for as we probably go to Mombasa would include; -some computers do not have USB ports!(they are too old) -more flash disks because most of them have CD-ROMS yet the ZIM file is on a DVD. -the flash disks should have write protection key so that viruses do not infect the flash disks I would also like to notify you that I will be available for the Mombasa Pilot. PS>Oska limoke's gmail account has been blocked by google due to what they are siting to be maintanance reasons. Regards, Stephen W. Wanjau.

[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)
