I'm not talking about generating new articles, just updating articles who's 
facts will be 'changed' so to speak by the event of the elections in a timely

That's right.  A better approach would be to improve coverage of _topics_,
e.g. [[Education in Kenya]], [[Economy of Kenya]], and whatever happens to
be hot topics in this coming election season, as well as articles about the
most prominent politicians involved, i.e. covering their _record_, relying
on external sources, and being very careful not to interject your own
opinion.

Cheers,

   Asaf

Guys, 



We worked for almost 2 years even without funds to make this chapter happen. It

meet urgently and decide on the way forward.

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] State of the Chapter

2012-11-22 Thread Alex Wafula 
Sorry for the long silence guys, I've been really caught up with stuff;
that aside, I'll have an uipdate from the lawyer next week as we haven't
yet met.

As for the meetup, I can help set it up minus the venue. From the last one
we had, I remember we had deliverables and one that was pretty clear was of
the chapter membership to produce more drivers meaning more answers than
questions/comments something which I think hasn't worked out as of now.
Don't get me wrong, the questions are welcomed but we are at a point that
we can't afford not to follow-up with solutions.

So my suggestions would be to have stuff done during the meetup instead of
discussions/assigning  roles to be completed later since clearly, that
isn't working.

With that said, I'm available for a meetup on any weekend between now and
the 1st of Dec.

cheers,
Alex

Nice one David,
I think we can start by planning a revisit to Kamiti as we had planned.
I suggest we meet next Month if that is OK with the Team members.

While I support a new start, I'm sorry to tell you that all my Saturdays and
Sundays for the rest of the year are fully booked already (it's just that
time of the year for a family man with kids in two different schools).

Guys, 

We worked for almost 2 years even without funds to make this chapter happen.
It is time we go back to the original zeal and push for this to happen
better and bigger. Currently, we do not have any cash or budgets, but I
believe we need to meet urgently and decide on the way forward. 

I need suggestions on dates so that I can talk to either iHub or Nailab for

Thanks for restarting the conversation, David.

I'd like to encourage you all to think about what you would _like_ to do.
 What is the one activity you would be inspired by and proud to take part
in?  Once we hear where your energy leans, we can work together to make it
happen.
