We've been very lucky in finding two developers who know how to keep their eye on the community pulse and are willing to "go the extra mile" for us when we need them.

I'll second that! 

As its likely we're changing the date of its meeting, anyone interesting in knowing more/getting involved in discussions about the planned development work could do worse than come to the next Tech committee meeting - http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Technology_Committee

The need to have developer resources available to set up QRpedia on WMUK servers, and to maintain and improve it, has been thought about for a while now and was incorporated into this year's developer budget (although the activity plan doesn't explicitly state this).
