Becoming a registered charity is pretty cool (we were already a charity).
Have we had our first cheque back from the taxman of money reclaimed under
the terms of Gift Aid? If so that would be good to mention.

It was quite a big story Jon throughout the world.
Voting - whether real or imaginary it is important. The "coolest project"
has to have some popular appeal I would say. Do we think WMDE are cool
because they have 20 staff? ... or because they have launched the first new
Wiki project for years? De
The partnership with the Herbert in Coventry is worthy of this list. It's
arguably the most successful GLAM project in the UK outside London, it's led to
the development of a community of editors in Coventry and the surrounding area,
spawned local meetups which are very well-attended, and the on

Keeping this all under one topic: Ed Saperia suggests "Does getting
shortlisted for Wikimania 2013 count, do you think?". I think it does: we
pulled a pretty amazing bid out - one of the reasons it was turned down, we
hear, is that it was "too big". Not a bad reason to be turned down

I shall be in Glasgow, with free time on the afternoon of 19 and
daytime of 20 June. I hope to visit a couple of museums, and perhaps
talk to their staff about GLAM & QRpedia. Obviously, I don't want to
tread on the toes of anyone already working in that area - do we have
anyone already doing so?
OK we shouldn't trumpet Gift Aid until we have our first big fat cheque
from HMRC.
But it is worth mentioning Direct debits. That may sound dry, but the UK
chapter has a significant longterm income stream whilst the rest of the
movement still depends on the annual fundraiser.

agree with WSC - the direct debit was the fundraising coup and it was
Chris's "over achievement". £1m was the plan - collecting half of next
years was just showing off

Bear in mind that the request here is for the 3 coolest projects, and that the
audience is going to be Wikimania attendees (i.e. mostly Wikimedians),
presumably with the hope of getting them to do similar projects in their
countries. So as cool as things like direct debits are, I don't think the

I think they are getting value and price confused. I see they have quite a
