A Zimbabwean by birth, and a Capetonian by adoption, Oxford-educated Isla Haddow-Flood is a writer, editor and project strategist who is passionate about harnessing communication technology and media platforms for the advancement of open access to knowledge; specifically, knowledge that relates to and enhances the understanding of Africa via the Open Movement (and especially Wikipedia).

Ji-Elle
Not making much noise, but Ji-Elle is the master behind image reuse. Every year, she spends hours (days) going to every single image uploaded, adding description when possible, fixing countries, adding categories and inserting them whenever it makes sense in a wikipedia article. She is the reason why our re-use rate is SO good !
