Here is a message from Aaron , Please read and react to it, I am writing you now because I am considering traveling to Kenya to meet and interview other Wikipedians in your country. However, in order to make such a trip worthwhile, I would need to locate as many Wikipedia users and editors as possible -- ideally at least 15 or more. (More than that would be better still.) Do you think it would be possible to find that many Wikipedians in Kenya? And if so, do you have any suggestions of where I might find them? And how I might contact them? If you could put me in touch with any Kenyan Wikipedians I would certainly be grateful. Also, if you have links to any pages that track top contributors to the Swahili language Wikipedia, that would be most useful. I am also considering traveling to other African countries, so if there are other countries that you think I should visit, please suggest them as well. Thank you, -- Aaron Muszalski Community Department I also had a chat with him later and here is the message Aaron: You're most welcome. :-) So -- WMF will send me, but they want to make sure that, if they do send me, that I return with a good number of interviews And -- perhaps more importantly A number of good interviews 10:05 ones that could make good appeals Which is a challenge me: We can work that out together Aaron: Because only a small percentage of all interviews ever result in an effective appeal Yes, I agree Also -- there was a man from Nairobi in the news about a year ago 10:06 Who built a plane using information he learned on Wikipedia It would be most excellent to track him down and meet with him as well 10:07 me: I will share that with them too We can track him down for sure Aaron: His name is Gabriel Nderitu http://physicsworld.com/blog/2010/10/kenyan_physics_graduate_builds.html 10:08 me: ok. 10:09 Aaron: As far as the dates go - It might be in the range of the 11th - 18th Or possibly a week later. Please let me get your reaction to this mail and if we can get Wikimedians from Kenya and those who are not active wikimedians but have been using Wikipedia in what they do. -- Isaac K. Kosgei.
