[Foundation-l] WikiAfrica invites you to support the Africa Incubator

[francisa at africacentre.net]

WikiAfrica is pleased to invite you as a self-declared African  
Wikipedian to evaluate the Africa Incubator. WikiAfrica has created  
the Africa Incubator to support and assist new authors, as they create  
their first articles and learn the ins and outs of contributing to  
Wikipedia.

The Africa Incubator is a ‘soft landing’ for new authors to  
develop articles that relate to Africa. It assists them in becoming  
compliant and knowledgeable of Wikipedia principles and rules. Based  
within the Wikipedia framework, the Africa Incubator is fully  
interactive and enables feedback, assistance and forums.

This is where we need your help! For the Africa Incubator to be  
successful, it needs the intervention, interaction and experience of  
Incubator Mentors. We are looking for a pool of active experienced  
Wikipedians to consistently participate in ’owning’ the Africa  
Incubator. Incubator Mentors will assist new comers through the  
editing process. They will also help test and expand the Africa  
Incubator, and will play a vital role in encouraging newcomers to be  
Wikipedians for life

Please visit  
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiAfrica/Incubator] to give  
us your honest feedback and evaluation.

WikiAfrica is a ground-breaking project that is designed to Africanise  
Wikipedia by generating and expanding 30,000 articles over two years.
