For those of you who do not already know; the WLM grant got approved yesterday! :) This is excellent news, but as mentioned by Asaf, we are still going to follow up other avenues such as the NHC for funding. Personally I want to specially thank Dumisani for handling all the comments regarding this grant and adapting it accordingly. Thanks!
King regards
Lourie

Hi Guys.
Deadlines look good to me except for August 30, Translations. We will only be able to do most translations after we have completed the website (which is almost there).
By the way Lourie, how far are you with adding the translate extension?

We'll have to be happy with the deadlines, I guess. As and when there
is work that I can usefully contribute to the WLM websites, please
post about it repeatedly on the mailing lists!

Hie Dumi
It must a very short day for you as the WLM month is about to start and
moving jobs. This is to let you know that I will be available on the 1st of
September and most of the month for the competition. I am out of the office
and email from tomorrow but back on Monday.
Kind Regards
Blessing
Hello everyone
I worked on the documentation page on our external site (http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/How_to_participate) today. Please take a look and let me know if we need to add any more information or maybe just change something. Further I have also configured our specific campaign Upload Wizard on Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&campaig…. Currently it only mentions that WLM haven't started yet, but during the competition time it will contain ZA specific information. This wizard is then responsible for tagging the images with the SAHRA template and pre-defined categories. Our website is almost complete, all we now need to add is the site listings. I passed this list on to Maarten Dammers (the other Maarten) who is doing the processing and is also going to help out with the categorising.
Kind regards
Lourie
Thank you, much appreciated! :)
King regards

Hello Nicholas
I am very glad to hear this excellent news! :) We got very worried about the list delay. For now the Excel document will be fine, because then we can start processing the data and make sure that it works well with our systems. I will keep you posted about the happenings and let you know if we encounter any problems. It will be wonderful if we could get the login credentials for SAHRIS. Thank you again for pushing management to approve our request and get the data to us in time. It is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Lourie

Hi Guys. We are just a month away from the "Wiki Loves Monuments" Competition.
We need conserted efforts from all of you to make this competition known.
Please visit and like our following social media pages:
http://www.facebook.com/WikiLovesMonumentsZahttp://www.twitter.com/WLM_ZA
Get all the people in your friend list to go and like/follow the pages. You

timelines. We need every one to help organize this first Wiki competition. We
also need volunteers who will be available during heritage day that we can

Hi Everyone.
I am greatly pertubed at Charlene's reponse to the grant report. I
have seen this posted on the grant report page itself. I have since
moved it to the report's sub page with my response as follows:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_ZA/Gauteng_meeting/Report/SMS
My Response:
I was at this meeting on the said date, and I do not see any sinister
behavior by either Lourie or myself. We weere at the engineering
building through a special pass into their cumputer lab as I was a
student there some years ago. We worked on the Wiki Loves Monuments
project (The budget) till 17h45 and still waited for you some more
minutes. I dont think that you have posted correct times for these
messages.
On issues of governance and operations... I am glad that you have
aired your opinions of Lourie. But I want to state categorically that
I have different opinion of Lourie with regards to the above
accusation. He has been open and consistent and has dedicated
countless hours including his own money in organising this
competition. His dedication and commitment to the "Wiki Loves
monuments" competition and WMZA chapter has been truly examplary
despite his extreemly demanding student commitments and one of the
reasons I chose to get involved in both activities. In the two months
of my involvement, I have not received any measurable input from
yourself towards Wiki Loves monuments or Wikimedia ZA. If there is
anyone's "governance and or operations" abilitities that are in
serious doubt, in my humble view... they are yours. --Thuvack (talk)
