Project idea

edit

What Wikimedia project(s) and specific areas will you be evaluating?

edit

Is this project measuring a specific space on a project (e.g. deletion discussions), or the project as a whole?
Information System

Describe your idea. How might it be implemented?

edit

Provide details about the method or process of how you will evaluate your community or collect data. Does your idea involve private or personally identifying information? Take a look at the Privacy Policy for Wikimedia’s guidelines in this area.
Wikipedia volunteers would mobilize and collect information in their towns of photographs of junctions, roads, houses and important locations, then write a brief article using the images on how to get to those places. If a location already exists in the system, it can be used to reference another location further away from it.

Are there experienced Wikimedians who can help implement this project?

About the idea creator

edit

I grew up in the side cold hills of Libialem Division. I then move on to continue school in Kumba and my university studies in Computer Science at the University of Buea where I have my B.Sc.

I am currently taking part in wiki loves earth 2018 and I aim to become a volunteer with Wikipedia. I can program in OOP languages, take good photographs and cooperate with team members and team building.
