I have raised an action to the WM-UK board to provide a formal explanation. This relates to some issues that we should handle with sensitivity.
From mid January 2012, this list was changed so that you have to be a
list subscriber to read the archives, you just have to log in to access it.
Some interesting points have been raised about who is responsible for this list and its scope. I would like to see a definition that could be added to https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l. Perhaps someone would like to kick off a statement of purpose and scope on :wmuk ?
