Hi Raphael,
Fantastic news. Good job on what you have done so far.
Can you identify which language wikis can be of greatest support to you? I know that English will be among them. We probably get a landing page set up for your GLAM.
English Wikisource has few African WSers, and I cannot remember any from Ghana, so there will be plenty of spaces to fill!!!
I would be recommending that you be identifying key historical documents and works that your community wants for it's needs and those that it would like to highlight to the world. Having something that is scanned and can be uploaded to Commons, have the metadata at Wikidata, a transcription at Wikisource and be referenced and featured at Wikipedia, and could be the basis for learning at Wikiversity, could show the diversity of Wikimedia's sites and various opportunities. If that is possible, then some short documents could even be processed completely at the event.
I will do some more reading and thinking, and put my mind to how enWS could have information/support available. (We haven't excelled in that space, we have usually preferred the doing.)
Some housekeeping. * Ensure that one or two key people have advanced rights, equivalent or greater than account creator. Ask at [[m:SRP]] for account creator rights if no advanced rights are held. Ping me if necessary. * If it is going to be a big crowd, then we should be seeking the IP range of the venue and getting WMF to white list that range for that time. Phab ticket.

Thanks for your prompt response and insights.I really appreciate your contributions too.For starters we are looking at English WS and subsequently when we have much experience we will establish WS in some local languages in Two.We are really looking forward to the WS conference so that at least one person from the community can take advantage and come and teach the rest of the community.I will also be contacting you frequently for recommendations and suggestions kindest regard

greater than account creator. Ask at [[m:SRP]] for account creator rights if no advanced rights are held. Ping me if necessary.

We will certainly request for the user rights our only issue now is transcribing and we hope to receive training soon so we can undertake that.
