Bodnotbod,
I think Chris Keating /might/ have more information about this - I'll let him reply to you specifically.

Hello all,
I see from the 2012 activity plan that there's a budget for a World Wars project [1]. Is there a leader for this? An online presence?
I'd like to keep in touch with the project with focus on WWI so as to get stuff done before the centenary. I actually read a heap of WWI articles last year and no doubt did some wikignome-like edits along the way. I'm not inclined to do social things like leaving the house and talking to people, but anything that's computer-based I may be persuaded to attend to for two or three hours a week. I can be persuaded to invest in and read some books, although if the books were to come out of the budget and then be placed in Wikimedia UKs hands afterwards that would be preferable.
There is, of course, a MILHIST task force for each war. [2] [3]
If anyone's in charge of this, make yourself known and I shall follow you for a bit and see what's up. I suggest whoever takes the lead brings MILHIST on board as they are (I believe) a very successful wikiproject with tons of experience and many featured and other high quality articles to their name.
