I am sure WMF will also institute au.wikimedia.org as a redirect when
we have something to show.

We have started set up of an "official site". I will let Daniel
comment on when it might be ready for unveiling since he was doing
some work on that.

I was thinking it might be cool to have
http://members.wikimedia.org.au/ for members to use as a working
space. Then there would be a nice separation between "official" pages
and works-in-progress.
However it might be wiki overkill. For just about any purpose I can
think of for memberswiki, meta would also be appropriate.

We also set up a committee wiki which will be very useful for keeping
contacts and records etc over the years.

cheers
