Hi all, further to my comments to Michael, please all watchlist the page so you can follow changes (and find the page again).

My suggestion: It is a wiki thing, be bold, do what you think best. If you are fairly confident, put in a value, use an edit summary to indicate your confidence, discuss with others if you feel the need. We can revert or amend if we think your judgement is wrong, and discuss cases where there are differing opinions or doubt. I personally have absolutely no idea for most of the items, but might want someone to justify a given entry with some explanation, or even evidence, if it seems improbable from my limited experience. Actual values are more likely to generate discussion than a row of blanks.

Douglas, Mpho and Coenraad are also here but so far we've each been doing our own thing since there are several simultaneous tracks in the conference. Here, I'm reporting on something that only I attended, but which (I think) requires the attention of the chapter, namely the Community Capacity Map <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Capacity_Map# Community_Capacity_Map> (CCM). You'll see it's not a geographical map but a table which lists the capacities of affiliates.While the presenter was clear that there is no requirement that affiliates fill in all (or even any) of the categories, in his presentation of the purpose of the CCM it was obvious to me that we as a chapter stand to benefit - since the ever-growing staff of the Wikimedia Foundation will use the map as one of their tools in deciding where to allocate support. You may also notice that I experimentally started a row for Wikimedia-ZA but I now feel I should consult the collective on the process for going forward. The template used takes some getting used to. Quite possibly in future the information will be displayed in a more intuitive way - perhaps even a real map. But I think we should submit it so long.
