I second that. I eventually joined WMUK... but I have left several other
registered charities (who charge around £25 a year). These days, a
membership fee of £5 for a charity seems about right. At the Lansbury
Gardeners AGM today we increased the subscription from £1 to £5 per annum.

and Geonotices may be our most effective way of communictaing these

I'd say that meta is the right place for meetup pages, but with
pubilicity from other projects that might be relevant.
Holding it on Wikipedia might be seen as limiting it to Wikipedians.
The drawback of inviting non-wikimedians is that they may not be
interested in wikimedia. So I'd suggest one
Experience from being involved with "London Wiki Wednesday" and other
meetups is the consistency of information (date, time, place) at
different places, and where to "sign up" (if at all). "London Wiki
Wednesday" was harmed (in part) by the use SocialText and now seems
moribund.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out where the best place to do the online organisation of
wikimeets is. I can think of four different places, each with pros and cons,
which I'd appreciate others' views on.

Pros: visibility, 'standard place', likely to be a wiki that most wik
