It was great learning about offline Wikipedia meetups' dynamics in the March Conversation Hour through Dr. Schwitter’s research. Thanks, DCW, for organizing!

An affiliate like DCW, hailing from South Asia, trying to cover the heritage of the community it represents in the largest open knowledgbase, is really a wind of hope for us who are constantly working to build capacity and strengthen the local movement. These conversation hours are an amazing attempt to increase global interaction and perspective sharing. I hope that this initiative will continue building capacity and a practice of collaborative mindset through the facilitation of exchange of ideas and experience.
