David,
Just a quick question.What was the discussion? I thought it was about assisting students in Kamukunji. Sorry if i deviated from that. I do hope you have a good party though.

I know it is under development but considering the non-digital encyclopedias i had in my former school, the offline wikipedia is far more useful than you would know. It may be irrelevant to curricula but usefull to broaden the students minds.

Thanks for pointing out that Gerrald's view was not relative to the discussion. I would like to suggest something for all new members, please take time to study the activities we have undertaken before making contributions.
I will only be able to host a maximum of 12 people at my place so again I will chose to go for old members due to oblivious reasons. The weekend after Easter on Saturday I have a high school get together so I will not be available.
Maybe we can take a quick survey to see who would be available on the Easter Sunday evening... Monday is is holiday. If we make 10 people +, we are good to go. People who have not at all been involved with the Wikipedia for Schools project will get the least consideration for this one.

This is why we are working on a Kenyan version, because we don't want to repeat past mistakes.David,I agree with Stephen and think that you should consider hosting us after the Berlin meeting (probably on the weekend after Easter?). It could also act as a get-together for us to hear Stephen's and Alex's experience at the Chapters Meeting. Thanks for the offer :-)--Abbas._______________________________________________
