From a chapter perspective, getting people aware that
the chapter exists and that some Wikipedians do things in "real life" might help
encourage retention by getting people along to meetups, events, etc where they can meet
and talk to other Wikipedians.
Just an idea.

Subject: Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Editor retention
It's good to see this conversation starting!
In Sue's presentation she made the point that the Foundation would value help from the
chapters in addressing the editor retention problem. Some of us on the Board have been
scratching our heads about this as we do even less on-wiki than the Foundation does, and
the value of us passing a Board resolution saying editor decline is very bad and someone
should do something about it is limited. ;-)
So as well as thoughts on what the community as a whole can do, it would be useful to hear
views on what the Chapter in particular might usefully do.
