- Nice. Does this mean we are closer to a world
in which awesome
Wikimedia swag is easy to come by... and not through cafepress? [
sorry, CP! :) ]
The chapters still can't do such things locally in a financially
feasible manner, i.e. one that doesn't result in boxes of shirts under
the bed forever. (Been there, got the box of T-shirts. I think we gave
them to the local charity shop after ten years.) Current rules are
that chapters can make stuff at no profit, only for members. This is,
in practice, completely unworkable and functionally equivalent to
declaring it impossible.
The no profit rule was apparently just a WMUK idea that was
resoundingly rejected on our mailing list.
