The Past two weeks - WikimediaZA

7 Jun 2012

Hi Guys and Girls.

I want to commed all of you who participated in the Social Development focus 
ducument for this Wiki Loves Monuments project. The response has been 
overwhelming, with almost 7 people who commented and edited the document 
online!! We are definately on the right track.

I also want to send a special thanks to Lourie and Maarten for exceptional 
dedication to this project, and for willing to put up with my pedantic 
unpleasant nagging. In the past two weeks we have done a month's worth of work 
on the project. If we keep this momentum going, we should be able to catch up 
on the month we are behind with according to global wiki loves monuments 
schedule.

There is a long way to go still, below are some of the things we still need to 
achieve inorder to have a clean bill of health.

1) Complete Website design for WLM-2012 za site. The site is live and under 
construction. I will have some time this weekend so I can do a bit of work 
here. There are some bugs I am finding and will send through to Lourie as my 
coding is as good as my criminal law knowledge.

2) Tie-up Social development focus document and then enrich the presentation 
document from the Western cape meeting with Heritage department to suit future 
presentations. Decide on GP meeting with Heritage department and see if we 
cant also arrange one with department of basic education.

3) Get chapter website live and start setting up.

4) Start brainstorming 2014 Wikimania Bid. We have got to bring this one 
home!!

Ofcourse there are many other things I missed out but this is just to plot a 
way foward for the year. With only six months left to the year and factoring 
that we are all volunteers with life commitments.... this is a tall order, but 
am sure that with the current momentum we should succeed.

Thank you guys for participating, its up to all of us to make this chapter 
work.

Regards
Annoying Dumi :-)
