Hello All, I just wanted to inform and create visibility on this thread about the expectations for further information on this project.
Yesterday we published a diff post <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/04/21/setting-our-sights-on-knowledge-equity-with-the-african-union/> to provide more information and I have just sent a new email to update you all on the African Mailing list. If you can, join us on the 4th of May for an office hour <https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/87653338679> to discuss this project further, or send an email to [email protected] if you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions.
