Ndugu Sj, salaam!

Nimepata mawasiliano kutoka Christine Moon huko Palo Alto, California. Yeye anafanya kazi kwa shirika la Google, nao wameanza kupanga mradi au huduma kwa ajili ya wanafunzi wa vyuo vikuu nchini Tanzania na Kenya ili waelimishwe kuandika makala kwa wikipedia ya Kiswahili. Kumbe! Christine sasa ametualika kumwandikia maoni yetu, angalia tovuti hiyo: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AbIPJ9Nv6udZZGd6MndwcGdfMzFkODNzOG0zYw&hl=en Bahati mbaya yeye haelewi Kiswahili, kwa hiyo itakuwa lazima kumwandikia kwa Kiingereza. Asante kwa michango yako! Ni wako katika ujenzi wa lugha yetu, --Baba Tabita (majadiliano) 08:08, 10 Oktoba 2009 (UTC)

Habari, BT. We talked about organizing a contest or wikicup, over a number of months. With prizes each month, and a grand prize for individuals and also for university teams. Google has contacts at a number of Tanzanian and Kenyan universities, where they can provide them with free wifi access (inside school or at an internet cafe)... and they can sponsor some prizes for the contest.

Let's find a time to chat by Skype with Christine soon. We should set up a project page here as well! I have to work on my Kiswahili to be able to write as quickly as I will need to help out :) Sj (majadiliano) 16:27, 10 Oktoba 2009 (UTC)

Usipokuwa na akaunti ya Google, utaweza kumtumia baruapepe; anwani yake ni mooncheech (at) gmail.com [sikuandika na alama ya @; uiingize wewe mwenyewe]. (Baba)

I also told Christine she might want to reach out to you and other admins here; we should organize a chat early next week. She's interestd in organizing face-to-face meetings in Dar and Nairobi. Christine says -- "I am available every day of the week" so let's decide on a time here and suggest it. Sj (majadiliano) 16:36, 10 Oktoba 2009 (UTC)

I've skyped with her just this morning (well, it was 22.30 for her). Skype is fine with me, mostly a.m. East African time (= 700-1000 GMT). Monday or Wednesday should work; Tuesday is out for me. When I'm at the office, I'll keep myself logged in (name: stegling). Talk to you then. --Baba Tabita (majadiliano) 17:48, 10 Oktoba 2009 (UTC)

This is great idea. I am looking forward to see the Tanzanians/Kenyans are gathered together and expanding their encyclopedia. Also, I would like to know the day and the time which we are going to meet online? My skype id is mohammed.lupinga. Yours,-- _{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 08:08, 12 Oktoba 2009 (UTC)
