Hi all,
A number of chapters have created geography-specific Wikipedia portals. Should Wikimedia UK create and host a UK Wikipedia portal? Please add your thoughts, and join in the discussion, at: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Initiatives/Proposals/Wikipedia_Portal
Thanks, Mike
After much wrangling by Steve Virgin to bring together interested parties, and much editing work by a team at BBC Bristol, given freely in their spare time, a short promo of the Bristol public lecture is now online, with the full 50-minute cut to appear in future:

There is a slight issue with interlacing. I will try to fix that with future attempts at transcoding to Theora. It's difficult to achieve archival quality while also keeping under the 100MB upload limit.
Is there a Wikimedia UK YouTube channel we can issue this through? If not, do we want there to be one?
