Welp, we have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/San_Francisco, which hasn't done much lately, and I am partially accountable for that. But that is not completely focused on Wikipedia, and isn't a potential charter group like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_Wikimedians.
I don't comprehend what the chapters do, exactly, because we have the WMF in town, and it seems redundant to have a chapter here as well. That may be a good thing, of course. > If you want to form your own group or want to remain unaffiliated, that is a > decision that we will respect. Thanks for putting that forth, I guess; sounds like we are being visited by benevolent aliens. ^_^ Is there a deadline coming up on your chapter submission? I get that you want to do outreach, so maybe you could explain a bit more about yer chapter and all that, and how it is different from the MediaWiki group. maiki On Sun, Aug 17, 2014 at 11:57:29PM -0700, Pine W wrote: > Hi SF Wikimedians, > > I think we are getting near to the formal formation of Cascadia > Wikimedians.
