Addendum report - Developer update

At a request from Fæ I'm adding as an addenda to my report the updated information regarding the meeting with and contractual agreement with the two Developers' whose tenders' were accepted for the advertised for development work.

Emmanuel Engelhart and Thomas Morton came to the the office on Friday 15th November and after discussions with Doug, Mike and myself (to a lesser extent) have collaborated to develop this - http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Development.

One of the key tasks following 'nuts and bolts' work around establishing a new server hosting, SSL certificate and backups, will be the creation of a ticketing system to channel potential work, with the (presumed) creation of a technical committee becoming a place for broader discussions about strategy, direction, ideas to explore etc.

Jon Davies will line manage both Tom and Emmanuel, and I will be their first point of contact on a day to day basis to help them get information they need from Staff, Trustees and Volunteers, and keep everyone informed of any down time in terms of the server or systems with various changes that need to take place, and updated on progress (I will ask for a section to be added to the monthly reports). Details of the tenders and contracts have been uploaded to the Office Wiki for Board members to refer to.
