Aa. I feel that Wikipedia is now too big for my brain. In a parallel word, compare with Linux, when it all got too big for Linus and all individual developers.

I guess this is all quite new. The charity is very young, and your experience will be a major asset, along with Jon Davies' charity experience (and others including the Board). http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2011/11/charity/ And the charity has a new name! How does that affect fund raising? I asked at the AGM why Wikimedia UK was chosen in favour of Wikimedia UK Ltd. Small point I guess but then I am pedant.

For those who weren't there, I think the answer to that was that as a charity we're exempt from the normal limited company requirement for the name to end with Limited - and since we would continue to use simply Wikimedia UK as the working name it was better to have the working name and the legal name identical. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

It was my understanding that any company (or Industrial and Provident Society) can choose to omit Ltd or Limited from their name. Either way, I did wonder about the choice.
