Hi Michael.
My suggestion: It is a wiki thing, be bold, do what you think best. If you are fairly
confident, put in a value, use an edit summary to indicate your confidence, discuss with
others if you feel the need. We can revert or amend if we think your judgement is wrong,
and discuss cases where there are differing opinions or doubt. I personally have
absolutely no idea for most of the items, but might want someone to justify a given entry
with some explanation, or even evidence, if it seems improbable from my limited
experience. Actual values are more likely to generate discussion than a row of blanks.
Cheers,
Peter

Dear ZAnians,
Greetings from Berlin. Douglas, Mpho and Coenraad are also here but so far
we've each been doing our own thing since there are several simultaneous
tracks in the conference. Here, I'm reporting on something that only I
attended, but which (I think) requires the attention of the chapter, namely
the Community Capacity Map
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Capacity_Map#Community_Capacity_Map>
(CCM).
You'll see it's not a geographical map but a table which lists the
capacities of affiliates.While the presenter was clear that there is no
requirement that affiliates fill in all (or even any) of the categories, in
his presentation of the purpose of the CCM it was obvious to me that we as
a chapter stand to benefit - since the ever-growing staff of the Wikimedia
Foundation will use the map as one of their tools in deciding where to
allocate support.
You may also notice that I experimentally started a row for Wikimedia-ZA
but I now feel I should consult the collective on the process for going
forward. The template used takes some getting used to. Quite possibly in
future the information will be displayed in a more intuitive way - perhaps
even a real map. But I think we should submit it so long.
What do others think?
