It's the start of a roughly five week period that I hope you will participate in to create Wikimedia UKs security standards policies. You can check out the introductory page with links here

I will be having time off over Christmas, so feel to leave questions I can pick up in January, but even better, feel free to get editing, improving and changing while my 'back is turned' :) These are really quite basic, and I'm sure there are nuances or past problems that I am unaware of and you can bring to my attention where these don't accommodate such examples.

In the new year I will come back and push on with reworking the policies based on comments so far, and other improvements I think may need to be made at that point. The basic goal is to ensure our work meets the highest standards in terms of people's privacy and data security, but doesn't restrict volunteers in delivering and enjoying their work within the organisation.
