Subject: RE: Re: [Wikimedia ZA] Invitation to partake in JoburgpediA Hey,
this really sounds interesting! I'd love to forward it to the [cultural-partners-l]
List, what do you think? I see this as a great chance to share experience and ideas around
those QRpedia projects, and the list is subscribed by many interested people from the
whole movement.
Best,
Nicole

Subject: [Wikimedia ZA] Invitation to partake in JoburgpediA
Hear ye, hear ye
It is agreat pleasure to announce the formal endorsement of JoburgpediA concept and the
pilot project under this name, by the City of Johannesburg. 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:

David Richfield: dacidrichfield(a)gmail.com
You can also access basic project information and follow project progress on our chapter

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.
Regards
Dumisani Ndubane
President of Wikimedia ZA
