That might work, but it is the least ideal way of getting in touch. If you have a legal question, best to send it to legal...@wikimedia.org. It will be routed much faster and is much preferable. -Dan On Dec 16, 2010, at 6:29 PM, K. Peachey wrote: > WMF Legal has a email assigned to it, so you

This would surely be interesting to a lot of people. But Wikimedia itself is not a political body, so projects like this may not be seen as appropriate for here. A lot of projects with wide interest are hosted on wiki farms though. There are many wiki farms and other bodies and many groups use wi
