Is there a role for an advisory board? It was discussed a while back. Perhaps some of the long serving former board members could be invited to be on it (Andrew T., Joe S., Tom D.)?
A little bit of an external check of "are we doing something basically sensible" might help.

And I'd hope you would be on it too :)
I'd personally agree that an advisory board could be very beneficial for WMUK. I've set out a first draft of what such a board could look like, after looking into the WMF's advisory board setup and some other background documents, at:
I would like to put this forward to the board at its November meeting, if the proposal is sufficiently well developed and there's general agreement by then. I'd greatly appreciate it if those interested in this topic could edit the page directly, leave messages on the talk page, reply to this email or contact me off-list/wiki. :-)
Thanks,
