Do we know what **kind** of Wikipedians Aaron is looking for?****
On the one hand it sounds like “any Kenyan Wikipedians”, and of course, in WMKE, there are easily more than 15.****
On the other hand he seems to focus on regular **Swahili** editors, and then he may not even find 3 in **Nairobi** or even in all of ****Kenya**** .****
Btw, top contributors for sw:wp are listed here: http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaSW.htm or here: http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtumiaji:Emijrp/List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_o...
Fwiw,****

I think you can safely assume it will be any Kenyan Wikipedians. I've cc'ed Aaron so he can say for sure. :-)

Here is a message from Aaron , Please read and react to it,
I am writing you now because I am considering traveling to ****Kenya****to meet and interview other Wikipedians in your country.
However, in order to make such a trip worthwhile, I would need to locate as many Wikipedia users and editors as possible -- ideally at least 15 or more. (More than that would be better still.) Do you think it would be possible to find that many Wikipedians in ****Kenya****? And if so, do you have any suggestions of where I might find them? And how I might contact them?****
If you could put me in touch with any Kenyan Wikipedians I would certainly be grateful. Also, if you have links to any pages that track top contributors to the Swahili language Wikipedia, that would be most useful. I am also considering traveling to other African countries, so if there are other countries that you think I should visit, please suggest them as well.
Thank you,****
