Hackathon 19th–21st January 2024 | Online, Zoom


Welcome to the first "Wiki Mentor Africa Hackathon", for this unique event, we will be focusing on the ISA TOOL. This tool is key in our region for important campaigns such as "Wiki Loves Africa". Our goal is to make this tool better with the help of African developers and Wikimedia contributors. This hackathon is a chance for everyone, whether new or experienced, to learn, share, and help. We want to improve the ISA Tool together and make our WIkimedia community stronger. Join us to make a Difference!
