Ahsante Wangari na wengine wote waliohusika katika juhudi hizi, Nami ningependa kuwakumbusha ya kwamba mambo ya web quality yasisitizwe. Kindly lets ensure that the wiki becomes usable and accessible to all through adherence to guidelines such as WCAG and WAI since at the
end of the day, all will be expected to use the wiki, without any aspect of exclusion Siku njema, Ronald Ojino

In the spirit of supporting the development of an open Internet that is accessible to all we welcome collaboration from like minded organizations and your input and that of other listers will be greatly appreciated. We will send in more updates after the meeting we are just about to wrap up the roundtable but this is just a start.
My name is Stephen and I am a volunteer with the Wikimedia
foundation which runs various free knowledge projects with the
most popular being Wikipedia. All these project are run using the
Wiki technology. We also have a Swahili kamusi as one of the
projects see [1] with approximately 13K defined terms.
I have noted that your glossary [2] is skewed towards the tech
related terms of which you might find some at 'our kamusi' whose
link I provided below. I would really be interested in attending
the round-table meeting that is in-case it is not closed for
invitees/members only.
Otherwise, you are really doing a great job to have an increased
presence of the underrepresented languages on-line.
The Internet Society Kenya Chapter has organised a roundtable at
Pete's restaurant Bishop Magua Centre to discuss the Swahili /
English Glossary Wiki the two organisations are jointly developing
http://ictglossary.wikia.com/wiki/FAHARASA_YA_ISTILAHI.
We have had interesting deliberations with content developers,
social media developers and language experts, we welcome comments
and thoughts from experts on how to improve the wiki and make it
more relevant to swahili speakers.
