Hi all, as you know our wiki site is the converging point of all our discussions, where every progress should be recorded. If one wants to evaluate our progress, the first site they will look for information is our Wiki. If i am not wrong, this is what many will use to see our seriousness, the Wikimedia Foundation Chapters' Committee inclusive. It is for this reason that I am abit concerned about the amount of content in our website and how frequently it is updated. It is clear that there are many discussions we do over the mail and is not documented in our wiki. It is also clear that most of us are busy and we dedicate little time to our wiki. I suggest that we start giving priority to our wiki for discussions. For example, when discussing an important issue, we could create a page for the issue and hold the discussion on the Talk page of the page. We could also use the main page talk page for other general discussions. About the frequency of updating the wiki and the general organization of the wiki in general, Manuel and Asaf could be doing that but I can imagine the amount of work they have, plus they are not in Kenya and may sometimes not have first hand information regarding many events. From now on I will dedicate as much time as I can to organizing the general look of Our Wikihttp://www.wikimedia.or.kefor ease of accessibility of the articles as well as catching up with and tracing back our progress. On the same note, I would like to urge all of those who do not have accounts with Wikimedia Kenya http://www.wikimedia.or.ke to create accounts by sending the username you would like to use to Asaf Bartovasaf.bartov@gmail.comor Abbas Mahmood abbasjnr@hotmail.com and they will configure the account for you. Have a great weekend guys.
Speaking of the wiki and the domain:
I am still missing the invoice for the domain! I have paid it through my private Paypal account and I can't get reimbursed by Wikimedia CH (who has offered to pay for it).
This is now the third time I am asking for this invoice!
