Thank you Limoke. Its good to hear that the local chapter of Wikipedia.org is active and vibrant.
I first heard of this group wayback in 2009 when Mediawiki was conducting local campaigns to enroll more content writers especially from public universities.
Kenya.or.ke was conceptualised in 2007 with the aim of having local content written by locals or anybody with a good experience of kenya and all facets of information and data that can be relevant to the Kenyan scenario.
Indeed we would love to collaborate with the group and enhance the Kenyan information presence on the internet. Do you have an idea of how we should approach it?
Regards Kivuva

Dear Lordmesh,
I just dug tis from my archives and thought I could loop you in. So a couple of the KWC winners took up the initiative of starting up a Kenyan Wikimedia Chapter( http://www.wikimedia.or.ke/Home) and we got recognition from the Wikimedia Foundation as the 2nd chapter in Africa and the 39th worldwide. We have been quite an active lot and if you guys are interested, we could find a way to work together to increase Local Kenyan Content online both in Wikipedia and the kenya.or.ke
Please let me know what your thoughts are .
