Chris,

I assume you mean http://www.wikimedia.org.uk/ ?

We're currently waiting for the WMF to set up a wiki for WMUK, which  
we hope will be done imminently; the website will then be brought up  
to date fairly rapidly. We also don't currently have control of the  
domain names; we've requested that they be transferred from the  
current owner, but haven't heard anything back from him yet. I guess  
it depends on how long the WMF takes to set up the wiki as to whether  
it's worth replacing the content on the current website yet, although  
a note that the pages are out of date might be useful regardless...

Thanks,
Mike

Wikimediauk.org, the first hit on a google search for "Wikimedia UK" (with 
or without quotes) still refers to Wiki Educational Resources Ltd 
throughout, implies that one can still become a member / supporter of WER, 
that WER is the organisation with the license from the Wikimedia 
Foundation to trade as "Wikimedia UK" and use the Wikimedia Logo "and 
other devices".

Obviously this is all out of date and now factually incorrect. Even if a 
new website for Wiki UK is not ready yet, the wikimediauk.org domain 
should point to the pages on Meta (or wherever the up-to-date information 
is)

Also, I'd like to ask for an update on the legal status of WER.
