This means that we now have the permission to install QRcoded ceramic plaques next to the prestigious City of Johannesburg Heritage plaques! JoburgpediA follows on the foot steps of MonmouthpediA that was a great success in Wales, and will be the first such project in Africa. Where better to start it than in our very own Joburg? The pilot project will be implemented between February and June 2013 and will depend on a lot of volunteer wikimedians to assist in: 1- Translating submitted meta data into as many local languages as possible. As well as French, German and Portuguese. 2- Organising and conducting 2 editathons. 3- Setting up and batch uploads of meta data that will be donated into Wikipedia. 4- Creating templates If you feel this is something you would like to spend the next 4 months doing then please contact the project leads as follows: Dumisani Ndubane : thuvack(a)gmail.com David Richfield: dacidrichfield(a)gmail.com You can also access basic project information and follow project progress on our chapter wiki below: http://wikimedia.org.za/wiki/Jo'burgpediA We look foward to your positive response and feel free to extend this invitation to your friend and families who may be as passionate about Jo'burg.
