  • I am eager to convene an editathon at the 2014 War Resisters International conference in Cape Town (4-8 July 2014).
  • Well, that never happened. Now, however (2016), I'm preparing to post an academic survey of Wireless Community Networks in Africa.
  • Now it's 2018 and I'm helping prepare to host this year's Wikimania. I have just submitted a dissertation about South Africa's Wikipedias to the University of Cape Town, and hope to present my work at Wikimania. Postscript: just got back from WMCon in Berlin; Wikimania preparations are hotting up (I also attended the Celtic Knot languages conference in Aberystwyth).
  • Remembering why I'm not that active editing Wikipedia: trigger-happy deleters who can't be bothered to respond to attempts to negotiate. However, I feel my best contribution is not in content creation, but in promoting access - both through promoting internet access (e.g. through community networks) and by promoting offline Wikipedia access (e.g. in set-top boxes).
  • Enjoying the online Celtic Knot under lockdown, and given the mission of Wikimedia-ZA to nurture local smaller language Wikis, have raised the idea that those languages should also benefit from the AI/machine-learning boom.
