Agenda 5Oct10/Secretary's Report

Activities to report

Wiki reorganisation

• Have set up the office wiki, and moved glamplan over to a new internal wiki.
• Have also upgraded all of the wikis so that they use the latest version of MediaWiki (including switching to the Vector skin as default) and have common extensions.
• Am currently in the process of moving content over from the board wiki onto the office wiki.

Phone calls

• Responded to an enquiry about using a Wikipedia article in a TV show; redirected to the WMF.
• Phone gets a lot of 'noise' - random phone calls that are not press related and are not useful to us (e.g. enquiries from people wanting to buy projector bulbs). Any suggestions on how to minimize these?
