Hi Nimi and Colleagues, I have submitted a request to WikimediaZA to become the Wikipedia in residence at Rhodes. Please let me know if there is anything I can assist with to get more community members involved in this area. I have been talking (though initial stages) to Douglas Scott from WikimediaZA to look at the possibility of hosting a Wikipedia event at Rhodes. Would that be something that you would be interested in?
