Ig_Wikidata_Hub talk page Igbo Wikimedian User Group talk page
What will you have done at the end of your project? How will you follow-up with people that are involved with your project?
- The participants from the hackathon will automatically become members of our community if they are not already
- Participants will also be able to use the tools they will learn to do mass edits of wikidata items.
- After the hackathon we have one post Hackathon event with our community to discuss about the Hackathon. like a survey to determine the challenges faced and also recommendations on future Hackathons/ Wikidata events

Impact[edit]
How will you know if the project is successful and you've met your goals? Please include the following targets and feel free to add more specific to your project:
- Number of total participants: 25
- Number of photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons: Photos from the event will be uploaded on Wikimedia Commons under Cc-by-Sa v. 5.0
- Because this is likely going to be the first hackathon most of the participants will be attending, I cant predict the number of bugs we would resolve or tools we would build/contribute in, but participants can choose to work on any technical task of their interest. The main goal is to promote collaboration and help people make new connections, learn skills that will later be useful across the movement.
