 We're waiting on a reply from the WMF,  as it's their list, not the
 chapters. We asked them to delete a couple of posts before everything goes
 fully open. No response from them yet, but once the WMF deletes those posts,
 we can move forward :-)

Who did you contact? Daniel Zahn is the one who should be able to help
you with that, so if you'd like to speed things up, drop him an
e-mail: dzahn [at] wikimedia [dot] org.

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.)

I can confirm that it's working properly, at least on my end. My
browser doesn't report a certificate error and http automatically
redirects to https.

Thanks, Michael!

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Celtic languages Internet project

 I propose that a Celtic Wikipedia Project be undertaken to
 significantly increase the number of articles available in the Celtic
 languages

 Looking around,
 there seems to be a fair number of varieties of Celtic languages
 [1] , including Gaelic and Welsh. Can anyone clarify this - perhaps
 they were meaning Manx?


They said Celtic language*s*, so I think they were meant all the
projects you mentioned.

 Would it be worth WMUK trying to get in contact with these groups,
 and trying to assist them?

Seems like a good idea to me.

 Now that we've got this new blog, it would be useful if we could get the
 various media integrated so that the message is getting through all the
 different channels.

For posting to social networks (like twitter, which you guys have
now), Ping.fm http://ping.fm/ is very useful.  It posts the same
message to a ton of networks. :-)

 Does anyone know of any other system that is better?


You could try feedburner out, maybe. http://feedburner.google.com/

That might not be a bad idea, actually.  I suggest you poke Erik with
a link to this and ask him to include it in the good faith
discussions, if possible.  Who knows what would happen. :-)

Quite a few people,
http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Attendees.  Make sure you
guys add yourself to that page! :-)

 So I was planning to submit an open space discussion [2] about the chapter

Please do!  Presentations are always great and chapters are always fun
to hear about. :-)

No, I think he meant the conference subject itself seemed like using
Wikipedia for spam purposes.  I don't think he was suggesting
Lennart was a spammer. ;-)

 This weekend I was invited to speak at a conference about marketing through
 social media, such as Wikipedia.

 Perhaps something has been lost in translation, but that sounds like
 wiki-spam to me... Could you explain what the conference was about in
 more detail? I'm curious...

 Just out of interest, which other number would you have prefered? Keep

 Five to seven at a *maximum*. Parkinson wrote a good essay on this.

 ...which was, for those interested, rediscussed in 'New Scientist' a
 week or three ago. (Eight is apparently a terrible number)
