Hello everyone,
We will be doing another Cape Town Wiki meetup on the 7th December. We are
trying out a new location again so please note the venue change. OpenUp
<https://openup.org.za/> has very kindly let us use their downstairs space
at the Code Bridge in Newlands
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newlands,_Cape_Town> which is very near to
Claremont <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremont,_Cape_Town> train
station and taxi rank. It also has ample free parking in front of the
building. Also located nearby is Cavendish Square. Code Bridge is located
in the bridge (hence the name) that allows Campground Street to cross both
the railway line and Letterstedt Road.
This is the same location as the Wikimedia ZA 5-year strategy workshop and
AGM happening on the 14th and 15th December respectively. I will send out
another email about that now.
The parking and building can only be access by the Helmlock Street /
Letterstedt Road entrance. Parking is free.
See the location on the map to the right.
In summary the details are:
Date: Saturday the 7 December
Time: free to arrive anytime between 10:00 - 14:00
Location: Code Bridge <https://codebridge.org.za/>, 1 Thicket St,
Newlands, Cape Town, 7700
As always the meetup is open for everyone to join. So if you or anyone you
know as an interest in learning more about free knowledge or just want to
talk about it then please join us.
For more information please see the event page on Wikipedia here:

Cheers,
Douglas.

Good morning everyone
The Moleskin Foundation has teamed up with Wikimedia to translate specific
COVID-19 articles into 10 African languages.
While all languages are welcome, these have been identified as focus areas.
We however need all our editors help in getting these core articles
translated and checked.
- Urhobo
- Eleme Language
- *Shona*
- *isiXhosa*
- Yoruba
- Ewe
- *KiSwahili*
- *isiZulu*
- Hausa
- Igbo
Should you be interested in helping with this project, please contact me or
any of the board members for more information.
Should you be new to editing, help will be given in getting your translated
article posted.
Again, if your native language is not listed above, we would still love
your assistance in getting the English articles translated into your native
language.
Kind regards
Adri
Hi all, see below. Those who are able to attend online events are welcome
at this one, a demo of a new feature in the Content Translation tool which
allows structural elements such as illustrations, infoboxes etc. to be
easily transferred from one wiki to another.
In other words the tool is no longer only for translation but also some
layout.
