Well, there's stuff going on. My little "Wikipedia in the Classroom" project has been boiling away pretty nicely (I really ought to update the page on the chapter site about that.), but it's mainly foundation-building stuff that'll let us pull of bigger things in the future. And as for grants,

My impression was very positive - I think it's a great way for the committee to "tap into" what the rest of the membership are thinking. If I could suggest one improvement (not sure if it's possible given the software), it would be to have two phases; a brainstorming phase followed by a voting pha

I believe that the chapter wiki uses a third-party extension so that we can access Commons. In my experience, this extension is a bit flaky and sometimes causes problems. I don't have access to the code, but I'd say it's trying (and failing) to open a connection to Commons to load the image, and

I think that presenting editing access to the chapter wiki as a "benefit" of membership is a bit silly really. When I spruik membership to potential members, "the ability to edit our wiki!" doesn't even register on the things I tell them. Perhaps a compromise between the "no access for non-mem

Angela, Have you got any official support from the chapter for this bid? Having been the bid leader for the last time an Australian city took a tilt at this, I'd say that it's necessary to have committed support from the chapter to have any hope at all of success. I see that supporting the bid i
