Hi all,
Following my demand, the Ouvaton cooperative has offered to host a read only mirror of the French Wikipedia with a budget of 1000 euros for a year in hardware and bandwidth. For that it is necessary that a non profit organisation to be set up in France. I drafted a project of status for this according to French law. It is available at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Statuts_pour_une_association_en_...
Please, could you opinion on this ? And specially on * special links between this French law organisation should have with the Wikimedia foundation; * technical setup you would recommend.
Regards, Yann

For information, Yann was willing to have the french association up before the end of november 2003, to host fr.ouvaton.wikipedia.fr. The server would host the french wikipedia only.
Yann, if you want to exercice a RightToFork, it is your absolute right, and we do not have anything to say about that. What is really important to us is the diffusion of knowledge, and mirors can only be a help to do so :-)

Can you explain why a nonprofit organization set up in France is necessary for this? Can we not just accept the offer as we are right now, without the overhead, expense, and risk of a separate organization?
