As to personnel, I'm happy to take an active rôle in the UK Foundation; David has said that he'd rather take a more back-seat affair (non-exec. Board member, perhaps?); others?
That's because I know how good nonprofits are for taking 36 out of any 24 hours ;-) I know I'll get sucked deeper into it. Happens.
One VERY important thing is how to make it as clear as possible, under UK law, that "Wikimedia UK" has no control whatsoever over Wikimedia or over site content. Otherwise we will be a target for every crank, nutter and serial litigator in the country seeking to use the UK's appalling libel laws to their advantage. How to set it up so as to minimise even nuisance suits?
