I don't want to set the cat among the pigeons, but does this mean that WMUK can now
support GibraltarpediA?
I perfectly understand that things are a bit more complicated when it comes to money and
formal agreements, but after the wonderful success in Monmouth, it would be a shame if the
excellent work going on in Gibraltar continued to be overshadowed by the controversies
about conflicts of interest and ownership of QRpedia. I think WMUK could do quite a bit to
be seen to be supportive, and I think recognition of the project from formal entities
within the movement (such as chapters) can go a long way towards changing the
"default narrative" (to pinch Stevie's phrase).
All that said, I'm very pleased to see that this has finally been resolved and (it
seems) with a minimum of acrimony. Hopefully all those involved will be happy with what
they have contributed to the Wikimedia movement and will continue their involvement with
it for a long time to come.

What we had is best described as "a delay in agreeing terms for the donation" or
similar.

WMF. The original copy was put together jointly between WMF and WMUK and I'm keen that
any revisions are accepted by both sides. I'm hopeful that we can get this fixed
today. Thanks, Stevie On 9 February 2013 20:40, Andy Mabbett
