Hi all,
Would anyone be interested in being an admin on the Wikimedia UK website? This would let you edit protected pages, block users, etc. - the usual things. Obviously, you'd need to be approved by the board (a quick and painless process). We are currently waiting until we can de-sysop people (as a general principle) before actually turning people into admins, but hopefully that won't be too long a delay. Tango42, Majorly and Seddon already have the board's approval to be sysops.
Also, would anyone like to come up with a new front page design for the wiki? The one we currently have really doesn't look that good visually. Please volunteer on the talk page for the main page, or go ahead and make modifications straight away if you want.
Thanks, Mike
I'll have a shot with main page designing later today.

Hi Mike, I'd be interested in applying for an admin post - what do you need to know and what do I need to do?
Many thanks

Hi all,
We can now have admins on the chapter's site, and Seddon, Majorly and Tango42 now have that status (don't let the power go to your heads!)
James, the best thing to do would be to come along to the next board meeting on Monday 2nd March in the wikimedia-uk irc channel and have a discussion with us all. We've not made any formal rules on becoming an admin, but I guess a quick chat would be sufficient to establish trust (does anyone have any views on this?)
