In general the way the GeoIP stuff is not well set up or documented. I've put some very simple instructions for using geonotice on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Werdna/How_to_use_Geonotices Hopefully this will get some more relevant Australian geo-notices in place for meetups, AGMs, invitations to join chapters, and whatever else :) -- Andrew Garrett [email protected] http://werdn.us/ _______________________________________________ Wikimediaau-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
