Hey Oliver,
Sorry for the confusion on the sites. We decided to move stuff from the meta to wikimedia.or.ke after the domain was set up. So the plan no is to work from here. Here's the link to the schools project page: wikimedia.or.ke/Wikipedia_for_Schools_Project
As for guys who won't be able to make it for the pilot, hope this to be part of the agenda for the meetup I've proposed.
The visit to the girls school in Nakuru souunds great and we can probably organize for this.
So how about the meetup guys?

Glad to see things moving ahead.
To be honest, I'm a bit confused about the different websites where things seem to be posted (e.g. haven't found Sam's Wikimedia schools project update yet); between meta.wikimedia.org and wikimedia.or.ke, things have become a bit complicated imho.
Second, to reply to Alex' suggestion for a much needed meeting: Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it on Saturday (that's my kids' schoolparty day). But please go ahead - a meeting is urgently needed!
Also, how do you envisage involvement in the wikipedia for schools project for guys like me who, for job and family reasons, cannot leave Nairobi for an entire week (okay, so maybe, I'm the only one). As Abbas reminded us that schools are empty on weekends, when it comes to Mon-Fri, I could spare two days in February to accompany a team to a school. Originally, Nairobi had been on the map (when the pilot was still going for four and not three regions). I don't see how I could go to either of the three locations (Mombasa, Njeri or Kakamega) for one day only. Should you plan to visit a school in Nairobi, however, I'd be happy to assist.
Also, while in South Africa last week, I got to know Mr. Walter Chemjor, who's a teacher at AIC Morop Girls Secondary School (it's adjacent to Kabarak University near Nakuru). They have a journalism club which uses the internet for research but connectivity is slow. To cut a long story short, they'd be very interested to have a team come up to Nakuru and introduce them to the wikipedia for schools CD. That's something I could probably volunteer for - driving a team up to Nakuru for a day and participate in introducing Morop Girls to wikipedia.
All for now, and cheers! Oliver (aka BT)

Pilot overview: a group of 6 people per region. Since we have 10 schools teams are further to split into groups of 3, each group covering a school per day.
Seems like we need a meetup. If you guys can make it this Saturday, let me know latest today so that I can request for space at ihub.

Alex, Abbas, most of us seem to find a collision between the project and internships, the most affected being guys from JKUAT and we have to resolve this as soon as possible. Please share your views on that

I can avail myself this weekend, but didn't Tosh tell us that we need to book at least 2 weeks in advance?
