I don't have a problem with the UK chapter giving a few "how to edit leaflets" out to someone who is encouraging people how to edit.
But I would appreciate a little clarification re QRpedia. Can someone tell me who owns the http://qrpedia.org domain name? If I'm correct in my understanding of QR codes then all the QR codes that we are encouraging people to use point to that domain and are currently repointed to Wikipedia articles. So if we are going to promote QRpedia we need to know that the domain is part of the movement.

As far as I know, no-one's been given our contact details in relation to the project, and the site at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/GibraltarpediA/Achievements gives info@gibraltarpedia.org as the press contact address.

Good morning Tom.
Meeting minutes cannot offer a level of detail that will ever be
sufficient
by their very nature but in answer to your specific question: The board agreed that we would be happy to supply 'learn to edit'
booklets
and and some office support. In reality this means referring any
callers on
to Roger whether from the Media or just people interested in the
project.
I hope this helps,
Thank you for clarifying that. Are people being intentionally given WMUK's contact details, or are people just finding them online and assuming that WMUK is the best place to contact regarding Gibraltarpedia?
