Hi Lewis,
We also have meetups, in London particularly we have a monthly one.
They are good for a range of informal collaborations including showing
people some gadgets they might not have tried yet (and there is
usually one end of the table reserved for copyright afficionados). If
London isn't convenient for you maybe there is another city near by?
It would be good to try out a meetup in areas of the country we
haven't yet run them in.

I just wanted to point out some of the recent news we've posted on the
Wikimedia UK blog (http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/)
* British Library English and Drama Editathon - http://bit.ly/kbs99n
* Launching our new GLAM Outreach Taskforce - http://bit.ly/lwyKRu
* Join the Wright Challenge! - http://bit.ly/mJ0Kwk
Do drop by and have a read.
We are starting to get into the habit of putting new stuff on the blog in a
relatively timely fashion, so it's increasingly a good place to find out
what we're up to. :-)
Regards,
Chris
Magnus,
While closing deletion discussions, I came across this example when someone,
using {{reflist}} in the middle of a page, broke the {{subst:at}} and
{{subst:ab}} archiving header and footer. As the inventor of cite.php, do
you have any idea why? (see this diff:

)
