Morning all, Darn my smartphone, I read this and couldn't resist logging in to reply to reassure
The idea that this needed to be put in place originated from conversations with Geoff. I hope to be meeting with LCA staff when in the foundation offices at the end of the month too. The policy is not a polished/finished version - I just needed to get it out on the wiki before leaving the office yesterday. It will have a through tidy up/go through in due course (so, interlinking etc) but I wanted to get any community input at this stage. Feel free to correct mistakes you find as per usual :) Lets deal with the hosting of the UK wiki at Tech Comm - http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/IT_Development/Progress_meetings/18_April_2013Thedecision to move was made by the Board in March - we'll discuss the issues next week (all welcome to join what will be a telecon) and draw up proposals to mitigate/tackle issues. We've been in touch with WMF staff about the issue too.
