Thanks, Tim, Bitange and AoIR,
I've added this call for chapters to the beginning Kenya World University and School
(e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Kenya) here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Kenya#Select_Call_for_Papers.2C_Chapters.2C_etc. .
Creative Commons' licensed World University and School is like Wikipedia with MIT OpenCourseWare, with planned online accrediting university degrees, and WUaS is planning a wiki school for each language in Kenya as well -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/African_languages
- and in those languages, for open people-to-people teaching and learning, and eventually via Kenyans' smartphones. Even non-literate peoples should be able to teach to and learn from their Youtube channels, for example.
Thanks again for this chapters' call!
Wishing you a relaxing holiday season as well,
Scott
