Hello all, these are your 2030 theme-like statements you submitted after I
placed a call via the mailing list and our WhatsApp chat group.
*Physical spaces*
Paicy Debzie and Ebenezer Gasonoo say that as a user group, we should have
a physical space within which we operate. We should adopt the model of the
hubs that allow people to walk in, even if it’s just to make enquiries
about our community. The online based community is limited.
*Wikipedia Education Program*
Ato Ulzen Appiah says Wikipedia Education Program is our best to get
academic community to buy into Wikipedia and the efforts. WEP efforts
should be intensified.
*Wikipedia Zero*
Randy Baah says Wikipedia Zero should be extended to be on all networks.
*User Groups & Emerging communities*
Justice Alottey says WMF should strengthen user groups in emerging
communities in terms of logistics to undertake programs that can impact the
community and in turn Wikipedia as well.
He also added WMF should be much more interested in helping the emerging
communities where there’s a rise in internet penetration, get to the
standards of the well-established communities.
