Hi,
Why did wmuk form a company?
Rupert
RMore 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.The work at Walsal looks very impressive and there is work in Monmouthshire as well so progress is being made by lots of people.
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.
