I wrote to the Kickstarting Chopin people when they started their campaign and they are Wikipedia friendly. If their Kickstarter passes they are interested in using Wikipedia as a platform to promote interest in Chopin. If anyone would like to join me in following up with this then get in touch with me and also consider posting support for them and Wikipedia on their Kickstarter comments page.

For those curious about the team renames, I've revamped my team's documentation here. It's at Wikipedia:Growth (team). The 2013-14 Goals linked to above tell quite a bit about what our high-level plans are, but expect more detail and consultation with the community in the weeks to come.

WMF should stop funding local user groups, by which I mean the various pseudo-national entities such as Wikimedia UK, et al. Funds should be centrally allocated, with a view to building useful stuff that works, like a WYSIWYG editor, and improving storage and distribution of the database. Leftover funds? Bank them and start building and endowment... Carrite (talk) 01:14, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
