If we have a brand that is unacceptable to Scotland (or a portion of it) then do we need to change rather than split our brand?
Is it the "UK" bit? Would the flag be more acceptable or a map of our country (yes I know that gives the Irish a problem).
Is it possible to use the Wikimedia logo next to a Scottish logo and fudge the issue? Wikimedia's message is internationalist not nationalist.

people interested in taking responsibility for Scottish cultural
outreach, then they could just be given a budget and left to get on
with it (with some oversight from the board, of course).Well, indeed. Personally I would like to see that happen, but I think we are at least a year away from it at the moment.Chris
