Hi, Douglas. This is fantastic news! Congratulations on pulling this off.
Did you use any existing training resources (if so, which?), or your own design (if so, is it written up?) I would also like to remind all reading that the WMF would be happy to support WMZA in outreach activities, with funds, merchandise, advice, guest posts on the Wikimedia Blog, and any other resources we may be able to offer.
