[Wikimedia-l] Request: Location proposals for the Wikimedia Chapters Association

[James Alexander]

Thanks Fae I'm glad to see this being announced. More time for feedback
after doing so would have been nice but I'm sure that's not possible all of
the time.

On an incredibly picky Wikipedian side note: What are you meaning by the
':meta' notation? It seems "like" interwiki links but the colon is in the
wrong location (a wikilink would obviously be meta:, m: or wikt: etc ).
They were just a bit confusing to me, I may be missing something :).
