Latest update on the progress of the African language Wikipedias is up at
http://www.greenman.co.za/blog/?p=1029
Afrikaans has passed Swahili once again, and there are signs of life in
Northern Sotho and Zulu as well.

Hi all,
I'll still post a more complete report, but my brief feedback on the
train-the-trainer session for librarians is as follows:
The participants were eager and collaborative, and about as well
prepared as I expected: most had done at least some of the pre-course
exercises; a few had done them all, and a few had not doone them.
Their level of computer literacy was somewhat varied, but good enough
in all cases to follow the material.
The venue was good, and on request, they provided an effective PA
system for day 2. Internet was dodgy on day 1, and really a bit too
slow on day 2, so for future events, we should probably increase the
data capacity. The hands-on work was successful despite this:
All the participants edited their user pages and added language tags.
All or almost all users edited a non-English Wikipedia page. All users
installed the citation tool on their user preferences, and except
those who only had IE6 (ITOCA: maybe you should install Firefox on
those laptops ;-D), all managed to autofill and post a citation.
All users were given kiwix and the Schools Wikipedia Collection either
directly onto their computers, or on DVD, and all the users either
installed it, or watched their neighbour install it if they did not
have admin access on their computer.
Informal feedback from the participants was positive, but I've also
asked them to provide anonymous feedback via ITOCA.
Kind regards,
David
