Miscellaneous notes 2007-2009

It looks like we are not updating our media wiki. This has made the KENET management quite concerned. Remember that if you do not practice your skills on this project, you will lose them. We still hope that we shall get someone to finance our next project of going to document the Commonwealth meeting in Kampala, Uganda. So please be active. Esther

This is to let you know that a lot of work has been going on since we left Kasarani. The student volunteers from Moi University have done a lot of work on our MediaWiki. If you look at the editing that had been done, you will agree with me that they need a pat on the back. They have also processed the hard copies that were collected during the Forum.These copies are now ready for circulation. Soon the entire list will be posted to our website. Thank you all for the good work Esther

Today marks the completion of the editing process. Today we also managed to upload the Full List of books and materials we collected during the forum. The list can be found at at http://www.wsflibrary.org/images/1/12/Documentation_-_materials.doc. Regards Simon--Gatonye

The WSF organising committee has just released Final programme of the 4 days of conferences, meetings and workshops starting on Monday 21 January  !
