Winter is in full swing and we've been experiencing some very cold weather down in Cape Town. Hopefully the rest of the country is a bit warmer.
Just a last reminder that our online survey closes this evening at 23:59. If you have not done so yet, please take a few minutes to complete http://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5pXdPBtl9B5BsDH the survey. We want to form a better understanding of our SA editors and contributors.
