A gathering of Wikipedia administrators would not be a local
governing body operating under the law of California or any other US
state.

assembly.

The fact that there are so many admins is one of
teh key reasons
why I think that such a meeting is so important. It is vital for
people to get to know one another a little better and see who the
active admins are. At the same time, I also think it is important
that the admins be made aware of some things on a Foundation
level. What should they be looking out for? How can they resolve
problems effectively? What are the exact policities and when
(gasp) should these policies be overlooked in the larger interest
of the project? The meeting would take place on IRC as Cimon
suggested. I think Fred's ideas are excellent, and we can
certainly consider implementing an admin only IRC channel and
mailing list. These are things that can be brought up at the
meeting. I realize that the meeting will be clumsy at first
because of all the people involved. I would like, however, to
suggest that we try it and see how many people actually show up.
We can, of course, have additional meetings as necessary, and may
realize that one meeting is impractical. As a full-time
Wikipedian, I will make a point of being at any meeting suggested.
Suggested time, anyone? Danny
