Classify information about Nairobi WSF by Thematic Terrain
We suggest that all articles and information about specific activities during the Nairobi WSF be classified according to Thematic Terrain. Thus, each time you create an article about a conference or workshop, remember to mention its Terrain at the bottom of the page. Example: the conference Unlocking the Global Information Fortress belongs to Terrain 4: Democratizing knowledge and information. If you create an article about this event, you should enter the text Category:Terrain 4 within two brackets on a separate line at the bottom of that article's page like this:
[[:Category:Terrain 4]]
How where the thematic terrains decided?
These thematic terrains were fixed during the WSF International Council's Methodology and Content commissions meeting in Nairobi, on September 4 and 5, 2006 on the basis of previous consultations.
