hi guys, Mayenge and Alex nice thoughts.clubs need to be registered at the deans offices in the respective campus and some other stuff that could be hectic. Just a bench mark. Google Kenya are getting thousands of edits from Kenya and yet they do not have these clubs. They have been using motivation to editors of their maps.These motivations come in different forms and shapes.At a time last year they introduced a map makers competition in all campuses where the winners would win prizes ranging from laptops to food.Those that got gadgets were better placed because they had more edits then they later held a party at the ihub for all the other participants and they carried out a training on advanced usage of google maps.i was in the competition and I only got the prize at the petite end which happened to be attendance of the party.Am not complaining though. The edits are always on the rise day in day out and they have even launched another competition for this year and I am in FTW this time. End of benchmark. Guys this is area code 254 and getting some one spend on internet just to edit something they wont benefit in some way they can feel directly is quite hard.Which is not the case for wikimedians in area code 254 I stand to be corrected. cheers, Stephen W.

And speaking of competitions, Alex and I are in the initial planning phase of Wikipedia Takes Nairobi which is a photo contest that will involve participants uploading images of Nairobi's monuments, buildings, etc Just thought I'd let you know that we haven't ruled out competitions and we are trying our best to operate Kenyan style (or code 254, as you call it).

I don't know about other universities, but wifi at Strathmore is not that good, in my opinion. I do realise, however, that ''good internet speeds'' is a very relative term, and it may vary from person to person.

oscar,invite these "intrested students"as you have mentioned to the wikisat.then they will get to interact with others and probably get to choose if they want to edit at jkuat or with the wider kenyan wikimedian community at a selected place.
