we aim to attract and include new members in the Iraq Users Group, fostering greater activity and facilitating a broader range of future initiatives. Our primary focus will be on engaging students and recent graduates who possess an interest in volunteer work and introducing them to the world of wiki projects.
To accomplish this, our planned activities will concentrate on providing introductory sessions that impart essential knowledge of wiki projects, covering the basic tools and techniques. Following these sessions, we will establish a dedicated online community, serving as a group for ongoing support, addressing participant inquiries, and disseminating the latest updates related to wiki projects.
