Hey John,
Thanks for your input on this.
The general structure of a Wikipedia takes the City - in this case Nairobi - scavenger hunt usually limits participation to the city. The whole idea being to showcase what a city has to offer in terms of monuments, buildings and infrastructure.
Having Kenyan food included as a target type seems beyond the scope of the hunt.
However, I do love the idea and I think this could be a whole challenge on its own. If you're upto it John and the list ofcourse we can try and set this up as one of our future activities... Feel free to get intouch and we can definately try and setup something.
Cheers, Alex.

Hi guys,
I've already started compiling a list of Nairobi related articles that need images which we are to use as our targets for Wikipedia Takes Nairobi. You can find this on the Goals article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_takes_Nairobi/Goals
It would be great if you guys could help in completing the Goals by adding other relevant target articles to it. Now I've divided types of targets into 5 ie
- Building
- Infrastructure
- Monument
- Historical Sites
- Parks and Public Areas
You can search for relevant articles using Categories in the English Wikipedia and Jamii in the Swahili one. Here are some sample pages to get you started off:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_requested_photographs_in_Ken...
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Organisations_based_in_Nairobi
- http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamii:Nairobi
- http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamii:Mitaa_ya_Nairobi
You'll probably keep discovering more categories/jamii as you go on. Once you've opened an article under a certain category and you determine that it requires photos, add it to the goals list as a target.
I hope we can have most of this done during this coming week then from there I'll have them up on the Scavenger hunt site - http://toolserver.org/~contests/index.php - so if you have any questions or suggestion feel free to get in touch.
ps: you can get the logo for this here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WTN1_logo.png
In-case you feel some moderation should be made to it, do let me know within this coming week
cheers, Alex!
