[Wikimediauk-l] QRpedia transfer update

2013-12-20 Thread Katherine Bavage
Dear all,

In January it was announced that Wikimedia UK had reached an agreement with
Roger Bamkin and Terence Eden  to accept the donation of the intellectual
property rights of QRpedia to Wikimedia UK. WMUK are choosing to do this
via a company called Cultural Outreach limited.

This will mean that in future the site qrpedia.org will be managed by
Cultural Outreach Ltd and governed by the Wikimedia UK Website Privacy
Policy.

Both the domains qrpedia.org and qrwp.org were transferred to the registrar
maintained by Cultural Outreach Ltd today. This is a notice that the server
hosting for the sites will be changed at 22:00 on Sunday 22nd December.
Users should not notice any difference, however there is the very slight
chance that in some cases QR codes may not work for short periods during
the switch.

If you experience a problem you can report it by emailing
t...@wikimedia.org.uk or by logging a bug at the Wikimedia UK install of
bugzilla (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org.uk/)

[Wikimediauk-l] Splitting the Water cooler, introducing the Engine room

2013-12-20 Thread simon.knight
As many of you will be aware, there has for some time been a discussion on
the Water cooler regarding how best to engage with everyone from
well-established members to potential contributors, and ensure there is
space to have robust discussion about WMUK and its operations, as well as a
space in which to ask questions and talk about our activities and projects.
As a step forward, we've now split the Water cooler into two pages:

. The Water cooler, which keeps its original name and intention - a
place for discussion about our activities.  This can be found under the 'get
involved' section on the sidebar.

. The Engine room, which is a space to discuss and debate WMUK
operational matters.  This can be found under the 'organisation' section on
the sidebar

I've now gone through the process of moving threads regarding WMUK
operational matters to the newly created Engine room
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Engine_room , while keeping threads
around our activities and getting involved on the Water cooler
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Water_cooler  page. This will be our
first attempt at creating different spaces for different types of
discussion, and we're still working on the headers for these pages (the divs
now inserted at the top of the page). If you watch the Water cooler
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Water_cooler  you may also want to add
the Engine room https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Engine_room  to your
watch list. I've also moved the Water cooler
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Water_cooler  up to the get involved
section on the sidebar. The new Engine room
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Engine_room  can be found under
organisation on the sidebar. If you think I've incorrectly moved
something, or have a suggestion for how we should define and describe these
places do let us know (ideally here
https://wiki.wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Engine_room#Getting_us_started  in the
Engine room). Finally, I look forward to seeing people engage on both pages.
