Please note that though the link Katie just supplied with the CC's
guidance on "The Advancement of Education for the Public Benefit" is
relevant to the theoretical issue, we are not actually now applying
under that heading but under one of general public utility, so it is the
general guidance
<http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Charity_requirements_guidance/Charity_essentials/Public_benefit/pbsummary.aspx>
on the CC website that is directly relevant, and the three parts of
Principle 1. I can't say much more, as I'm not in a position to share
the correspondence with the CC .
In addition to the items mentioned, academic studies or high-quality
press stories on the Wikimedia projects' impact in the Third World would
be helpful - we have Wikipedia for Schools covered.
Please add anything unearthed at the page here:

Thanks,
