I don't want to set the cat among the pigeons, but does this mean that WMUK can
now support GibraltarpediA?
I perfectly understand that things are a bit more complicated when it comes to
money and formal agreements, but after the wonderful success in Monmouth, it
would be a shame if the excellent work going on in Gibraltar continued to be
overshadowed by the controversies about conflicts of interest and ownership of
QRpedia. I think WMUK could do quite a bit to be seen to be supportive, and I
think recognition of the project from formal entities within the movement (such
as chapters) can go a long way towards changing the "default narrative" (to
pinch Stevie's phrase).
All that said, I'm very pleased to see that this has finally been resolved and
(it seems) with a minimum of acrimony. Hopefully all those involved will be
happy with what they have contributed to the Wikimedia movement and will
continue their involvement with it for a long time to come.

What we had is best described as "a delay in agreeing terms for the donation"
or similar.
