  • Jimmy Wales emphasized on having a public outreach event in Pakistan like a Wikipedia Academy, where he can deliver a public lecture in some hall that seats at least 500-1000 people.
  • Proposal of a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest in Karachi.
  • Localization of MediaWiki
  • Publicity of Wikimedia projects and Free content in Pakistan.

Jimmy Wales message to attendees of Wikimeetup Karachi 1

Wow, only 3 people out of a city of millions care about Wikipedia.

I think the focus of the first meetup should be to think about strategies within Wikipedia and with local bloggers to get more people to come to the next meetup. The first 3 people who come in October should think about how to get 10-20 to the next meetup, in December.

And then planning can begin in earnest for a serious push forward in Pakistan!

  • It's a matter of pleasure to know about this type of activities. It will be very beneficial for us to join and learn with each other.
