Hi Mike,

I got "content liberation" from the Berlin chapters' meeting (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_meeting_2009/Schedule#Content_liberation). Thinking about it now, I can see why the partner organisations wouldn't be too keen to hear it described as "liberation"! It would be good to have something brief and snappy, though - how about "content access partnerships"? That describes what were doing - partnering with other organisations to increase access to their existing content. Thanks for your re-write.

I certainly agree Main Page needs some work - I've made a start and I'll put my thoughts on the talk page.

Andrew

Andrew,

"Content liberation" is a really bad phrase to use -- we're not  
liberating it, we're working with institutions to make the content  
more widely available. I've rewritten the project outline to try to  
make this clearer... (will do more work on this when I'm more awake!)

Unless someone beats me too it, I'll rework the main page at some  
point - it really needs to look a lot better than it does now! As a  
result, it might be best to have a separate page for "keep in touch".

I'd also comment that anyone can come along to the AGM - they don't  
have to be a member - although if they want to participate properly  
then they obviously do need to be a member.

Mike
