Of course, there are other areas in dire need of attention - I'm amazed that we do
nothing the other side of the Pennines, for example.
Coventry was brilliant, thanks. I think we recruited a few new editors, got some articles
written and some images donated. I wrote a brief report
at

Yes - great isn't it!
How was Coventry for you?

It's great to hear that they're still interested in pursuing the partnership. I
thought the Wikilounge was very successful, and I've long thought that we don't do
enough in Manchester, despite having a community there that could do wonders with a push
in the right direction. Developing the relationship with the university/library could be a
great springboard for other things.

Fantastic! John Rylands is an incredible place -

When I heard Alain de Botton's "atheist temple" idea, my first thought
