The page on meta says there is a meeting this evening, but there doesn't seem to be an agenda yet, is that meeting happening? If so, could I add something to the agenda? I'm curious as to how the accounts are currently being managed (I know no receipts or payments have been processed yet, but they will be soon so a system needs to be in place). Is the plan to just have a simple spreadsheet or is some proper accounting software being used? I suggest the board consider using proper software from the start since it will almost certainly be required once we get to a decent size and it will be easier to implement it now than transferring everything across at a later date. There are FOSS options available, although I don't know if anything are any good. Something which includes features for UK charities would be good, since you could get it to do all the complicated gift aid stuff (I'm assuming such software exists, there are plenty of charities that could use it). _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
