Thanks you Sänger. Very cool! 

(Global) network of co-editing spaces, with some common principles of 
operations (brand, services, opening hours) could be beneficial for the 
movement. This way affiliates and chapters could easier start and run their 
spaces. 

Do you in Germany have any polices or instructions for the co-editing spaces 
and Stammtisches?

Hi Leinonen,

In Germany we have several kind of co-editing spaces, listed here:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community-Space

In addition there are as well several "Stammtische" (well, at least
usually, currently of course not):

Some are meeting online now, but most are waiting for better times
without that damned virus.

Greetings from Bremen,

Sänger

Run by affiliate with a license provided by WMF.

I do not see why a non-profit could not run a coffee shop for fundraising. The 
profit, if any, would naturally be used to the cause.

Hi Teemu,

do you mean a cafe run by the WMF or an affiliate? How is this compatible
with the non-profit status? Or is there smth I misunderstand?
