*We can confirm that Roger Bamkin, an ex-Director of Wikimedia UK, is one
of two individuals who continue to provide advice on the production of the
QR codes and training for volunteer contributors to Gibraltar's Wikipedia
site. These two individuals were also involved in Monmouth's Wikipedia
project. The final agreement with them is being finalised and does not
include them being paid to write or edit articles on Wikipedia. A letter
of intent between all parties was signed in June.*
*Doug Taylor, Vice-Chair of Wikimedia UK said "WMUK have been keen to be
involved with this project ever since it was announced at Wikimania. The
agreement that the Gibraltar Government has with the Wikimedia Foundation
ensures that there is a clear legal basis for this collaboration. Roger
Bamkin and John Cummings remain as the Wikimedia UK members who managed to
get the accolade of "World's coolest project" for their last project in
Wales. I wish them similar success as they aim to "bridge Europe and
Africa".*
Sorry that it has taken most of the day to provide the above.
