Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimediauk-l Digest, Vol 83, Issue 36
In reply to John these are workshops and so the numbers are deliberately limited. 10 is about right. The provisional notice was a few months ago but we had to agree the Train the Trainers contracts in an open tender and this took a while. The dates of the next ones will be public soon, October and, we hope Early December. If we can get thirty people trained and accredited that would be an amazing start. As to the clash with the London Wikimeet, four observations: 1. Sorry if we took people away. 2. The Train the Trainers programme is intended to create the momentum to train the next generation of editors and one of the trainer's jobs will be to support newbies and lead them into community events. 3. These clashes will happen more and more as we do more and more activities. Something to celebrate really. 4. We are committed to holding activities all over the country So if you think you are someone who could be a trainer email Daria in the office and she will get you on the list. You don;t need a million edits - just a good understanding of page editing and the enthusiasm to share your passion with fellow human beings some of whol may be complete newbies.

But in the future we may well find ourselves in situations where other bodies want to give some form of credit/CPE points etc for our sessions in partnership with them. I think we should now concentrate on learning to give cracking workshops, creating opportunities for workshops, pooling workshop material on the VLE, and getting to the point where we could seriously offer courses in areas where they are most needed.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] donate.wikimedia.org.uk has an SSL error
Thanks for the reminder of this. I've implemented a work-around for now (moving direct debit processing over to donate.wikimedia.org.uk and switching to only having SSL on that subdomain) - we'll get a better solution in place before the next fundraiser. Please could you check that it's working properly for you now? (BTW, the issue about being able to donate insecurely was a new one, since our .htaccess should have been insisting on using https. This should also be fixed - please let me know if this is still happening.) Thanks, Mike On 14 Jun 2012, at 23:47, Thomas Morton wrote: Yeh I raised this a few weeks ago; and I recall someone else did then. It's due to misconfigured SSL on the server (setting up a server the handle multiple SSL certificates can be a pain). I'm not sure what the status of it being fixed is; but I did offer advice back then on how to go about it.
