Goals
[edit]Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
The focus of the project was on increasing editing skillset for existing Igbo language editors, recruit new editors, teach literate Igbos how to edit, and translate Igbo Wikipedia as well as involve them in a weekly challenge to add content. In respect to the above, I can say YES the project goals were met, and I am delighted with the outcome.

Learning
[edit]Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
1. The online webinar was a success. 2. The idea motivating participants to join early by giving the first three people to join a gift of data token worked. It made participants join the session early. 3. Two weeks challenge was also a success because it gave room for participants to add content in a competitive spirit.
- What did not work so well?
During the online training, some participants had internet connectivity problem which made them be on and off during the training. It frustrated people and discouraged them after several try. We complimented by providing the recorded session on our project page.
- What would you do differently next time?
Having a more extended training period (i.e. longer event days), especially on How to edit and translate on Wikipedia. 2.extending challenge period, thus, this will ensure that more contents will be added and it might attract more participants.
