Hi Flo,

What is the relationship between Wiki Africa and Africa Center? Here,
<http://www.africacentre.net/> Africa Center claimed that Wiki Africa is
one of their programs. Although,  I had thought the Africa Center just
hired Isla Haddow-Flood to manage a Wikipedia related project/program  call
WikiAfrica or something like that.

Regards,

Isaac.
