Tunisian Wikipeople wanted
Yesterday I had a talk with Kassus, and he presented his Tunisian Wikimedia project. This will start on the Net, then it’s supposed to become “real”, and may be later it will get an official association status.
I liked the idea, but I don’t agree with Kassus on something: he told me “We have time”, but I think sooner we start, better result we can obtain.
The first step consists of looking for people who are interested, that preferably are in Tunis, in order to make a meeting and discussing. For more information, you may contact kPaLiZs.tDuOrNkOiT at SgPmAaMil dot com (remove capital bold letters and replace “at” and “dot”).
Here are the bloggers whom I think that are interested:
#!/bin/tom (An Open Source defender)
Subzero Blue (although I’m still waiting for his answer about Sudoku)
Kaiser (I believe he can contribute a lot if only he has time)
TuNiSiaNo (I’m not sure whether that guy is in Tunis: his IP addresses are from everywhere!)
/etc/shadow (aka 17128248)
Sup’Comian boy (those ingineers help a lot!)
Of course, I can’t remember everyone, but anyone can join; no matter of whom are you, what are your thoughts and convictions, the only requirements are:
- Some computing knowledge (optional)
- You should know something about Tunisia, its history, culture, etc.
- You want to contribute FOR FREE
Contact Kassus if you are interested.

Hello to all,
Indeed I am very interested to witness and perhaps to contribute to the start of a real dialogue with a rich variety of opinions, views and convictions.
Lets be in touch !

Welcome to everybody!
Subzero has already started an individual project, we can start / proceed based on it. It’s to Kassus to decide: he’s the project manager.

Lorsqu’on est sûr d’être au moins une dixaine, on se réunit et on en discute. Je recontacterai Delphine (Chapter coordinator of the foundation) et je commencerai à faire la paperasse.
Pour ce qui est du contenu on peut commencer dès à présent à créer des projets Tunisie sur fr.wikipedia.org et Tunisia sur en.wikipedia.org et sur ar.wikipedia.org
Le but serait à terme d’obtenir des portails de qualité comme celui-ci par exemple
