Hi Nice people,

We had planned to undertake this project in the future.

The future arrives one day at a time and from my PVT conversation with
Alex, we have up to three weeks to wrap up the preparations and thus
the launch of this ginormous project just before the end of October.

On that note consequently, a budget has been prepared by a portion of
interested WMKE members and we would like to have your suggestions in
the following areas;

• How long should we run the photo competition??

Bear in mind that;
Some teams in Australia had more than 1 GB of photos yet the
competition was run for only a single day.
For our case here in Kenya running the competition for a day might not
even scratch the surface of our targets just an example.

• What are the proper awards for the 1st prize, 2nd prize and the 3rd prizes?

What about three/two/one month(s) Internet access via Safaricom or another company? Mobile Internet is the most common way of connecting in Tanzania at least, I have the impression that that's the case in Kenya too, but I might be wrong of course.

The prizes should proportionate the efforts that you universally
consider sincere. I.e. we cannot seek a sponsorship to Wikimania 2012
from the WMF for a winner who only took photos for only a day – for
you to go to Wikimania I think you are in better shape if you know how
to edit Wikipedia and wikis in general, just a case in point.

• To make sure we not only preserve the guys who partake in this photo
contest, we also plan to teach them how to edit and become
wikieditors, we shall run an article writing competition later after
which we can now award a single ticket to Wikimania 2012 for the best
article which ought to be of a very high quality.

Your opinions of how to make this take place are highly longed-for and revered.

Regards,
Stephen.
