ok...
I think Wikimedia Kenya sounds better...
By the way, besides the mailing list page, what is the official URL? Sorry, just got on board recently...

On the logo, should it say wikimedia Kenya or KE?
Depends what the official name of the chapter is. I guess it's rather "Wikimedia Kenya" than "Wikimedia KE".
Wikimedia in Switzerland has choosen "CH" not because it is the country code but "Confoerderatio Helvetica" is the official name of the country and is neutral concerning the four official languages. "Wikimedia Switzerland" wouldn't be appropriate because English is not an official language in Switzerland and all the other possibilities "Schweiz", "Suisse", "Svizzera" or "Svizra" would only represent a part of the swiss community. So "CH" for "Confoerderatio Helvetica" was an elegant way out. That's why we are so picky in correcting people when they say "Wikimedia Switzerland".
