<div dir="ltr">(I think I'm finally learning some of the lingo of the interwebs (I guess that should be 'teh interwebs' really, no?!) - I gather a 'slowpoke' is something designed to gently keep focus on something... in this case just the general desire to try and pencil in a date (or two, or three) for our inaugural AGM.... I suggested two dates in October in my last post - any thoughts?<br>
<br>This also led me on to another question for folk on this list.... I've been involved recently in a fundraising dinner thing for another foundation, and as such have been madly pressing flesh to persuade various folk to part with their hard-earned.. In talking to a few people who are aware of my interest in Wikipedia, I've mentioned the fact that Australia now has its own chapter - and it was on the tip of my tongue to mention that they could support the chapter by paying $40 to become a 'member' (in due course) - I didn't follow through on that, because it occured to me that we may want to have a discussion about whether or not there's any difference between 'membership' and 'support' - whether or not we should be looking at a 'membership drive' - or whether membership should represent a closer relationship to the project than a regular internet consumers' familiarity with Wikipedia.<br>
<br>My gut instinct says that we should welcome as many members as possible, and that becoming a member is actually quite a nice, tangible, way of offering support... I'd be most interested to hear others' thoughts on this....<br>
<br>cheers,<br><br>Peter<br>PM.<br></div>
