Dear All, WU NG is putting her wait behind the annual hosting and I think Ghana Team, should come up with their time plan asap so that we can move forward on this discussion.

Annual or at least biannual should be the way. Initiative from Ghana very welcome and refreshing after months of wailing. Greetings from Swahili subcontinent Ingo - Kipala From: Isla Haddow Flood <[email protected]> To: Mailing list for African Wikimedians <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [African Wikimedians] My Thoughts on Wikiindaba Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I agree with the others … 4 years is far too long to wait. I think that you can only have it every year or every second year, or not at all. Too much happens in a year for us to wait 4 years for something.
