Intellectual Help

Open request CIS-A2K staff action needed

Intellectual help

edit

Hi! CIS team! I know CIS can't give individual hardware help. But I think CIS can give intellectual help. As a small community, how can I fulfill my scanning devide's needs? I want to develop Portal:Yoga in sa.wikipedia. I need some reference books time to time. I can't buy or can't borrow it for a long. CIS team is expert in helping with grant, drafing and other rules. I hope CIS team will help to grow a small comminity. I have written 8k+ A4 size pages in wiki. Translations are not counted. But suffering to contribution. Your internet support also being wasted.
