Morning all,
Darn my smartphone, I read this and couldn't resist logging in to reply to
reassure
The idea that this needed to be put in place originated from conversations
with Geoff. I hope to be meeting with LCA staff when in the foundation
offices at the end of the month too.
The policy is not a polished/finished version - I just needed to get it out
on the wiki before leaving the office yesterday. It will have a through
tidy up/go through in due course (so, interlinking etc) but I wanted to get
any community input at this stage. Feel free to correct mistakes you find
as per usual :)
Lets deal with the hosting of the UK wiki at Tech Comm -
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/IT_Development/Progress_meetings/18_April_2013…
to move was made by the Board in March - we'll discuss the issues
next week (all welcome to join what will be a telecon) and draw up
proposals to mitigate/tackle issues. We've been in touch with WMF staff
about the issue too.
Have a lovely weekend all!

Ultimately? As far as I understand, the board,
based on recommendation.
Staffs & our lovely technology contractor have been looking into the
technical
details over such a move, what it entails etc. The technology
committee is due to meet on 18th to discuss this (among other topics) - <

Feel free to join in and take part in the discussion! :)
Thanks for sharing that link - one of the biggest problems I see with
moving off the Foundation servers is the lack of SUL.
There's also the issue of keeping it updated etc, but that's less of a
problem now that we have Tom and Emmanuel.
