However, during the WSF event in Dakar, Senegal, 2011, librarians and archivists from Senegal, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Uganda, the Netherlands and Finland, assisted by staff from the Bibliothèque Universitaire (BU) of the Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD), and volunteers from the EBAD library school, continued the project.


The activities of the Nairobi WSF were ordered in 21 analytical classes, which were at the time (2006-7) identified as the main actionable themes of the WSF by its International Council. This website, which is built with the same MediaWiki software as the Wikipedia, uses the 21 actionable themes to classify the activities of the social forums.
