That's not a good way to describe the situation. I was unaware which list we were talking on - assuming that it was the UK discussion list where people are aware of the setup we have. rather than by actual Wikimedians, that's an indication that (as Tom Morton > suggested) there isn't an active group of Wikimedians who support it. > Far from it; there are a lot of active Wikimedians deeply involved in the process. But, as noted, volunteers tend to flit around and miss deadlines :) Ed, who is the guy involved, has put a lot of his own (volunteer) time in so far - he is reallyu into the process, and brings experience and contacts. But this is really a little too specific for a public list. I'd welcome a discussion about bid budgets etc. but without reference to one (of several) entirely undecided budget idea. Tom
