We should get more actively into getting Wikimedia UK off the ground.
Once we're a UK charity, possible sources of income include the Arts Council
(freedom of information about culture, innit), and the British Council
(spreading British culture across the globe, as well as much the same
reasoning as for the Arts Council - especially as current Chair is Kinnock,
who will probably like the pro-proleteriat direction open content moves in
;-)), and others - thoughts?
As to personnel, I'm happy to take an active rôle in the UK Foundation;
David has said that he'd rather take a more back-seat affair (non-exec.
Board member, perhaps?); others?
Alison - what's the current status? Probably buried under real work
deadlines, no doubt. :-) Anything I can do to help?
Yours,
