One thing I am not clear about is exactly what a
chapter is. Is it
just a group of people who edit wikipedia and who live in close(ish)
proximity to each other, or is it a legal entity of some kind?
I think it can be either, but
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Local_chapter_FAQ has more info on
this.
What are the formal links between the foundation and
the chapters?
One formal link is the licensing of the trademarks, so the Foundation
can allow you to call yourselves Wikimedia UK. Other links would
depend on the chapter.
