Hi,
Why did wmuk form a company?

More than willing to talk but there is nothing to say I'm afraid. We missed the occasion of GLAMwiki and the AGM. I am told that WMUK managed to form a company but the trustee who had created the agreements left the board at the AGM. Doug will be missed.
QRpedia is much more relevant to Freopedia, Joburgpedia and Gibraltarpedia. Over a thousand new articles, lots of plaques and new editors working on articles in new languages. Our third Featured article of the day in the next few days and the second QRpedia inspired project should make 1,000 articles next month.
The work at Walsal looks very impressive and there is work in Monmouthshire as well so progress is being made by lots of people.

Following up on this from earlier this month - it still appears that there is a delay in the transfer of the domain. Chris, Jon or Roger, please could you give an update? Thanks.

Hi Andreas,
Yes, of course.
The delay has basically been down to the risk of patent litigation.
At least one Wikimedia chapter has received letters from people who purport that QRpedia infringes on various patents.
We do not believe this is the case and do not believe the probability
of
being involved in actual litigation is high. However if it did happen
it
could be very costly.
So we have been taking advice on how to deal with this risk, and have reached a solution which will work. Roger and Terence have been very patiently waiting for this to be sorted out - apologies to them, and everyone else waiting for an outcome, for the delay.
Chris
Thanks, Chris.
