For the record, same here ;-)   Manuel, our webmaster, already
provides hosting for the Austrian and the Israeli chapter and a polite
request to manuel.schneider at wikimedia.ch is unlikely to meet
disapproval...

Anyway, http://lists.wikimedia.ch/listinfo/chapters  (chapters at
wikimedia dot ch) is up and running now and a wiki is being installed
at chapters.wikimedia.ch though will only be functional by tomorrow.

I'll send out a mail to all chapters secretaries (assuming that I can
figure their mail addresses out) tomorrow, to implement Florence's
proposals (one bureaucrat/listadmin per chapter, to add all the other
board members)

Michael
