We therefor advice, if it does not open go to www.voip-kenya.net this will take you to the same site. Am sure some of you were able to reach us on Talinda.net. did any one here try?

Be a contributor - Improve your world
by Laban Mwangi 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hi, 1) Wikipedia The articles on Kenya and related articles are sorely lacking. The world would be a better place if we could all take 30 minutes and contribute, reformat or proof read them. No excuses, there's something for everyone : - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Kenyan_society - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Kenya - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Kenyan_culture - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ethnic_groups_in_Kenya Just 30 minutes! Besides, you could add it to your CV as 'Contributor to wikipedia' Or maybe take a Photo of your favourite town and add it to the wiki entry about your town? 2) Wiktionary And if that's too much for you, add a couple of words to wiktionary: - http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:All_languages Here are some stats: - Luhya nouns - 3 entries - Kikuyu nouns - 4 entries - Gusii - 2 - Meru - 2 :'( 3) OpenStreetmap You just need your browser. Zoom to your street address, draw a line over your street on the superimposed image of bing maps and label it. or Mark your favourite parking garage, watering hole, restaurant with appropriate attributes If we all do 5 such operations, we'll have 5000 extra data points on Kenya. wOOt! - Kenya on OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-0.965&lon=36.801&zoom=9&layers=M - Link to edit NRB: https://www.openstreetmap.org/login?referer=%2Fedit%3Flat%3D-1.2952%26lon%3… Bonus points if you do more than one. Double points if you get to record oral history while speaking to your elders and posting it online (CC license?). Hero of the republic if you can get rights to a dictionary and batch upload it wiktionary (there's a script to do this) :) Benefit you ask? - You can download the raw osm file for .ke and integrate it with your app (Where's the next parking spot? How many car slot it has?) - You can download wiktionary data and use it with your thesis research: Say 'Common xxx between Nilotic languages' - Wikipedia is free to download... And tourists probably hit wikipedia when evaluating holiday destinations - Ditto for beautiful flickr and CC licensed photos of holiday destinations So you do gain, directly or indirectly. Regards, Laban
