QRpedia has been reviewed very positively wrt security. The review notes that the qrwp.org re-routing and that the urls are human readable as good points. hmmm QRcode email spam? Is the takeup of QR codes that enthusiastic? I'd be curious to see their scan rates :-) On 30 May 2012 10:18, David Gerard dger...@gmail.com wrote: On 30 May 2012 10:12, Gordon Joly gordon.j...@pobox.com wrote: QRPr0n codes?

[Wikimediauk-l] Merchandise, etc
All, A lot of Wikipedia t-shirts, mugs, etc have been dispersed around the country for various events, and I'm trying to keep track of them and ensure that they're being used effectively. The last thing we want is dozens of tshirts sitting under someone's bed, unused and forgotten! If you've got any tshirts, mugs, bags, badges, pens or banners - or anything else - please let me know so I can keep a record of what we've got around the country.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Merchandise, etc
I think I may still have a pile of 10th birthday t-shirts somewhere... they're rather out of date now, but I can try and remember where I put them if you want them.

[Wikimediauk-l] Listadmin wanted for wikimediauk-l
Andrew Turvey has quit as listadmin so we could probably do with a spare. Present admins are me, James Forrester, Mike Peel and Richard Symonds. Mailman is easy to administer.
