Thanks Michael, This strikes me as something that Openup might be very interested in. I will share it with them to see what can be done in the Southern African context.
Regards,
Douglas.

Dear Wikimedians,
here's something that was inspired by one of the Swedish Wikidata activists (Jan Ainali) recently addressing African wikimedians on Twitter about a certain funding deadline that was looming. It was too close for me to feel able to respond, but I noted it as something that should be done at some stage.
WikiProject Govdirectory https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Govdirectory aims to promote govdirectory.org https://www.govdirectory.org/ to become a global user-friendly directory of government agencies and their online presence by utilizing Wikidata. I had a look at the South Africa section and a lot of it is still blank. We as a chapter could address this. I don't think paying people to migrate content from websites etc. into Wikidata would contravene the taboo against paid editing, since it's just data transfer. What do others think? Regards,

Hi Peter,
Not yet but now might be a good time to set one up on meta wiki.
Regards,
