No, the risk is rather with the other project partners, as a withdrawal of Wikimedia CH later on might compromise the project. It is my task to manage this risk. Under the present circumstances I have of course no objection to Wikimedia CH saying "yes" to the participation in the project provisionally or subject to conditions - as long as the provisional character of the decision and the conditions are clearly communicated. > will propose a board vote now for that > reason. additionally, our experiences with Uni-BE up to now > are excellent, they helped us a lot already. > > last time we suggested to enhance wikis with p2p > technologies, to better cope with more and more multimedia > content. it failed because we "did not consider current > technologies like europeana" in a sufficient manner. 7 months > later europeana went public ... and it broke down :) our > (very) unstructured link collection is here: > http://wikimedia.ch/EuropeanUnionResearch. > > if you could enter some info here: > http://wikimedia.ch/Projects it would be great. I have already entered some information on the wiki page. More is to follow, as soon as things get a bit more concrete... I will send additional information to Nando for distribution among the (future/potential) board members.
