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.
