We can synch up on a wiki or anywhere to pull this up by end of week?We can then pull in Lodewijik once we have something. Get back to me on this? Hoping you are still in Area Code 254? :-) I suggest Steve keeps the Volunteers on the Commons Page engaged through email and discussions on how/what they could help Way to go good people.

What is the bottle neck? Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/9 Lodewijk lodew...@effeietsanders.org Hi Stephen, the highest priority should have a clear description on the top of that page: 1) how people can participate (how to find the monuments, and how to upload) 2) what they can win (even if that prize is only a virtual one and a nomination for the international finale) 3) who will judge 4) what are the criteria I am surprised that this is still not clearly described on your page - and can now understand better why there are still no uploads for Kenya. Please let me know if we need to help in any way, or need to explain how to do something. However, the work will still lie with you. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/9 Stephen wanjaus...@gmail.com Hi all! The plans to participate in the aforementioned subject had already started with the preparation of a planning page [1]. There have been some volunteers who have shown interest by signing up as willing to help or participate in WLM 2012 [2]. I have responded to some private E-mails from willing participants and I expect the enquiries to increase. I therefore welcome more Wikimedians to assist me with that by probably adding the email me in their commons usernames like I have done on mine. ./Stephen. 1. http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_** Monuments_2012_in_Kenyahttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Kenya 2. http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_** Monuments_2012_in_Kenya#Get_**involved.21http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Kenya#Get_involved.21 ___ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake
