Dear all,
Compliment of the season to you all. I can see that no one seem to be
commenting on the planning for the next edition of Wikidaba. Is Wikidaba dead?

On the note of this, I think it'll be worth doing another wiki indaba.
I don't know if there's been discussions on where to host it, but I am
confident of a place that can host wiki indaba in Koforidua at an
affordable price..
Should Wiki Indaba be considered to happen, I think Ghana will place in
slot to host.
