Hi,
There are a variety of ways this can be organised. I have been involved in

You can have simple subsidiaries, or the one we set up in Tower Hamlets is
a co-operative, combining aspects of a consumer co-op and a workers co-op.

The idea of setting up some kind of social enterprise is a very
interesting one. One other service it could sell, somewhat more
controversially, is advice on dealing with problems with Wikipedia

Again though - and I don't want to shoot the idea down (please don't think

This is the overriding issue.
It is what Roger is doing in Gibraltar - but the issue there more revolves
around a) he being a board member and the resulting poor handling the COI
(i.e. didn't resign once he had a commercial business in the same scope)
and b) the way in which Gibraltapedia

Hi all,
I'm currently working on fixing up some of the details for an event we
have running later in October with the International Dunhuang Project,
an international group working with a large collection of manuscripts
and artefacts from the eastern end of the Silk Road.
http://idp.bl.uk/
Minor request, can someone work on the Silk Road article itself where
there's been a mess/conflict over the marine aspects of the Silk Road?
I was partially to blame for it but never was able to fix it.
Thanks
Doug
