Hi James,

See discussions at
<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Water_cooler#QR_codes> (and the later
thread on the same page), lots of information and discussion there,
and the Water Cooler will stay up to date as events progress. I
welcome further questions that have not already been raised to be
added there, I find it a handy place to reference.

As it happens, the UK Board is reviewing the negotiation tomorrow and
there may be an announcement to make then.

Thanks,
Fae
