HI ALL! Wow! Personally having completed our pilot one month ago, would want to CONGRATULATE everyone for their dedication and team spirit which led to the success of this project. Good leadership comes from a combination of many things,ability to learn from past mistakes, ability to organize a strong team and much more which our leaders Abbas,Oscar and Steve have shown and KUDOS for that. Even those who are not leaders but go the extra mile to ensure better coordination we SALUTE you! Cheers, LILIAN.

Congrats to all the members, and let us not stop or give up here. After South Africa, I believe we are next and that should be enough to encourage us increase our efforts at what we are doing.
FYI,
BTW -- this might be slightly off-topic, but I'd thought that I'd let you know that I was informed that we arguably have the *most multi-national chapter mailing list* in the Wikimedia community!!!
That makes me very proud of Wikimedia Kenya!!! I was even trying to design country-flag templates in Wikimedia Kenya http://www.wikimedia.or.ke and that is when I realized that I had to do more than what I expected!!! I mean Kenya, Tanzania, India, Israel, Switzerland, Germany... Congrats to us.
I was so thrilled in Berlin when I was asked to share the secret of
how we run our yet to be Chapter. To my amazement,all the Wikimedia Community admired our style and we got a mention to be exemplified by other chapters!:P, it was a great moment..
We are a World-Class chapter-to-be ;)
I would also like to send my condolences to those who couldn't make it like Samson Maosa. I extend my condolences to the Nyeri team whose laptops were virus-infected.
Thanks Abbas for your condolences.

Guys,
Every good thing starts from somewhere and its not easy work. We have made a critical step towards changing lives in our country and that is what human life should be about. Each day that you wake up, make sure you have set yourself to be a part of a move that affects the world positively. Am proud to be a member of this and I will continuously give my best to it.

Along with this message is my applause and gratitude for the wonderful job that the Wikimedians have done today and the days beforehand.Of all things you Wikimedians have done,I particularly salute this one.
Doing all this extra work while continuing in your full time position was extremely ambitious and took a lot of effort and dedication on your part.
I am sure it was worth it all,knowing that our achievement will make such a positive difference in people's lives. Well done.

Thanks, Steve, for a very informative overview webpage.
However, who's going to understand all the legalese and be able to make an informed decision based on the content of that overview? Certainly not me! :-)
Can someone with more legal competency / knowledge summarise the issues in everyday language and let us know what our options are, and for each options answer the following issues:
1. what's the liability for the members? 2. what are the requirements with regard to tax and report filing? 3. are there any restrictions on membership? 4. what's the status with regard to for profit vs non-profit?
Thanks,
Oliver (aka BT)
