I've created [[Wikimedia in Scotland]] on the WM UK wiki, and would really appreciate if someone could create a specific Common.css page for it.
Required is [[MediaWiki:Common.css/Wikimedia in Scotland]] with the following content:
#p-logo a { background-image: url('http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Wikimedia_in_Scotla...') !important; }
Once a hard refresh is done, this should then cause the Wikimedia in Scotland graphic I've created to be displayed as the Wiki logo for that page only.
Ideally, we then 'tart up' this page a little and have the new scotwiki.org domain point to it. With help from Peter Weiss, I've a QRcode which includes a Saltire and points to scotwiki.org.
If we're to make use of this, then I believe one of the key functions of the page should be to encourage people to create accounts to upload images, and to perhaps join WMUK.
Scotland is, largely, in need of a drive to recruit contributors who venture outside when the daystar is visible; or, tap into the wide international visitor base, get them improving the quantity and quality of images, then expand coverage across multiple languages.
I'll be discussing this further with Fae on Friday and Saturday, but my gut instinct is to start with images. The number of people I see - apparently on holiday - and lugging round £4K+ of camera equipment in Edinburgh is almost-frightening. Bringing such people into the WMF fold just seems sensible. rather than a photo they share with friends and family for 20-30 views per month, they can end up with thousands of views and encourage others to build and translate content around quality images.
