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,
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 f_edits
Fwiw,
Oliver (aka BT)

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