On the legal side, I would like to clarify that we are not left alone. We have a network of lawyers helping us. However, we may indeed not have a GC for a while, but we'll probably have soon a legal coordinator. Whether we have a coordinator or not, this will be one of my priority task to find a new lawyer in Florida, in office or not. Our legal needs go far beyond WP:Office right now :-) For example, most of our contracts or agreements are handled by Lin, a florida lawyer. Trademarks issues are handled in good part by Hugot, a french lawyer. Thorsten, a german lawyer is helping a lot on various issues, such as legal threats in Germany. Within areas where we need more help are considerations around intellectual property rights, internet law, press law, and international labour law. If you know some wikipedians willing to help on such matters, or lawyers willing to help us pro-bono, please contact me. anthere
