One of our volunteers has been working on an interesting project, about which a blog post is being published tomorrow. If all goes as we hope it will be shared widely on social media, leading to a substantial increase in traffic. I don't want to go into too much detail as experience has shown me that sometimes things don't work the way we hope due to unforeseen circumstances. But I'm very optimistic.

I'm sure that most of you will agree that not jeopardising this: https://mobile.twitter.com/stephenfry/status/427187596817883136 was worthwhile. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk On Jan 24, 2014 10:23 PM, "Michael Peel" <michael.peel(a)manchester.ac.uk> wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk
