Abbas,
I like your positive criticism on the minutes posted herein somehow.
But remember We cannot sit back quiet about some pertinent issues that
concern our chapter because we were editting wikipedia.FYI, We typed as we
talked and it seemed a better chance since we never have any other meet
ups. Do we?
No one, even you had mentioned anything about logistics to be laid down as
we host Asaf in a months time. Or if that's not important please let me
know.
Asaf's visit thread in the mailing list is the shortest in ranking if I
compared to; the recent SA visit whose emails came in like it was a live
chat , the WTN thread (do you even know it exists?),the Mombasa pilot, the
Kakamega pilot and the Nyeri pilot were also 'well discussed'.
However, I would like to inform you and other members who did not attend
that the usual editting was done and probably in deeper detail.
* Chris n Sarah shall be looking for places and names in Nairobi then fill
in the targets at our WTN goals wiki -I bet they can only do this only if
they know how to edit wikipedia.
*Alex shall be filling in the scavenger hunt site with reference to the
populated Wiki.
* Oscar L. And I shall write Kiswahili stubs about places with non- existant
articles since members withdrew from swahili citing they are not quite
comfortable with swahili language. Do you know why Swahili and not English?
Oscar took the newbie who attended through the whole induction and be
informed he learnt very quickly and he has an article already. Let me lias
with him then I would probably forward you his wikipedia username, for
content moderation!
I am beginning to speculate there are volunteers who are more equal than
others!
In peace and Very truly,

Hello,
I love the enthusiasm that JKUAT folks have. However, I hate to break it
down to you that WikiSaturday is (as far as I'm concerned) not aimed to
discuss matters pertaining WMKE but more importantly to teach members how to
edit.
I know that the matters in your agenda are paramount, but in the general
Wikimedia community, editing is a top priority:
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Trends_Study. Sadly, editing was
not even explicitly mentioned in your agenda.I honestly do believe that
editing should be number 1 on your agenda, since less than a fifth of the
current members are Wikipedia editors.
Just a suggestion.
