Hello:

I am happy to announce that with the assistance of Delphine and Brion, we now have a website. The website can be found at http://pa.us.wikimedia.org/ and I suggest that you all create an account there. This will hopefully be our base of operations as we progress further along to become an official Chapter and afterwards. It is our workshop, feel free to post questions or comments on our “Pretzel Stand” http://pa.us.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pretzel_Stand and post ideas like we had previously done on Meta.

The logo in the corner will be changed to the Wikimedia Pennsylvania logo once we make it the right size and convert it to PNG. (I hope Andrew can do this when he comes home.) We also need a better Main Page. Please take a look at the Main Page’s of our sister chapters and see if you can whip up something similar to that. Please make your changes on the talk page. J

If you find any problems with the website or have any questions comments or concerns, please reply here and if there is something we need to send to Brion, we will do it in bulk.

Delphine and I believe that the wiki should definitely be only editable by those with accounts. However, it is up to you to decide whether or not creating an account will be open to the public **or** whether or not we need to delegate who gets an account. If we do go private, none of the pages (even the Main page) will be locked from editing. Thus, there is no real need for sysops.

You are welcome (and encouraged to) contribute your ideas on the wiki and communicate here.

I completely concur with the idea about account-only editing. Per a discussion on IRC, there are some stuff on our wiki that need fixing: * Interwiki prefixes for all the other wikis besides Commons and meta ** Get a prefix set up for this wiki, to be able to be wikilinked from other wikis ** Additionally set up SiteMatrix at a leisure * Main Page redesign (after the account stuff has been taken care of) * Logo (consult delphine)

This is my list of stuff. Feel free to add on to this list if there are any more (I probably missed some stuff).
