I am not going to say anything about the statement.
What I DO want to say is that whatever happens with the way we receive our
funding the great work of the volunteers and staff must go on.
It would be very easy to be distracted to the detriment of everything else.
We are doing great things. Have a look at our plans for 2012 and 2013,
they are impressive and a great deal is happening. Let's all work together
to make sure our chapter is really brilliant and that in a year's time all
this fuss will be a distant memory.

Yes, David, sounds like it.
The opening to this week's signpost article seems to sum it up the
situation:
"In the second controversy to engulf Wikimedia UK in two months..."
Both controversies seemed to have damaged the relationship between the
chapter and the editing communities, in particular on English Wikipedia. I
think we need to get together a plan, if we haven't got one already, for
how to engage better and build stronger links. After all, this is where
most of the chapter's members, activists and income comes from.
Has any thought been put into this?
