[Wikimediaau-l] Chapter Update Request :-)

[Craig Franklin]

Hi Brian and all,

Is there anything that the rest of us can do to assist with this?  Given all 
of the work that has already been done, and given what recently happened to 
the UK chapter, I don't think any of us want to see this grind to a halt 
through a lack of inertia or interest.

Regards,
Craig
