Learning edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

-->Using Kinyarwanda Wikipedia in a language that all Rwandans speak, made it easy and explosive contributions. -->As it was a 2nd edition, participants highly contributed compared to the 1st one.

  • What did not work so well?

-->Again the tracking tool really lags and getting real time contributions is still a challenge.

  • What would you do differently next time?

-->I would keep this year's format but probably narrow it to focus on a certain theme.
