Slightly offtopic, I now have a contact/mole/inside woman at the
Ontario Archives who may be able to help us getting stuff released.

I know that WMC would have a much wider scope than the
one website; I
have a lot of other ideas about future projects we may want to do in
addition to a wikisource, but that idea is useful for giving our
statement of intent the specificity that the government requires.
Presumably the name "Wikisource" is copyrighted, so it would make
sense for the WMF to not let us use it until we became the official
Canadian chapter, just to make sure we follow their rules when using
it. Even if that's the case, it isn't a big obstacle; getting chapter
status will be easier than getting incorporated.

Not necessarily.
So I guess now that we have a general idea of
what Wikisource Canada will look like, we can use that information to
finish the bylaws and then register with the WMF.
We are trying to set up a Wikimedia chapter, not a Wikisource chapter.
In due course, maintaining a Canadian Wikisource is not the only thing
that WMC could be doing; it's only the one that can be most easily
identified.
The bylaws have
been almost done for a long time now, and I'm sorry that I'm taking
so
long finishing them. Hopefully we'll be able to make them
presentable
before people go to Wikimania in August.
Most of the principal issues are indeed settled, though I think we
could
still do considerable work on specific wording.
