In the light of Asaf's news about Wikimedia Kenya, it seems timely to highlight one of the positive tasks I agreed to at the last Wikimedia Chapters Association coordination meeting. This was to start chapter peer reviews. In a couple of weeks I plan to put out a call for involvement and set up a meta page to get this going.
As well as using practical (and cheap to do using virtual meetings) and non-bureaucratic peer reviews, better to understand governance and share best practice for Wikimedia Chapters, it would be great to extend this as a means of learning about best practices for Wikimedia User Groups. If the WCA can adapt to helping provide better engagement with User Groups and other Wikimedia organizations, this will be a positive step for the movement; though it may require quite a bit of patient help from friendly Wikimedia volunteers :-) If anyone who is in a Chapter or User Group (or a prospective User Group), would like to get involved at the start in receiving or delivering peer reviews, please drop me a note and I'll ensure you get an early notice when I kick off this, interesting but tricky, bit of international teamwork. Expect me to be depending on you for help.
