Intro: I started this page after an IRC talk with Delphine. Delphine is the chapter coordinator, but she is often very busy and she asked me to start a form of platform for coordinating/communicating between local WMF chapters. On this page we can talk about the platform, but it could be simply a platform of coordination for the moment. We need it, because we are not lonely islands. We have experience and wisdom, which we are able to share. Some chapters are based on one language only (like Wikimedia Italia or Wikimedia Polska). We know our language projects very well, we know their good sides and local communities' conceptions/initiatives. With this visdom and experience we can work for local Wikimedia projects better. So, this page is not only for board members :) Przykuta 22:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Who is who?[edit]
So, some of us know some people from other chapters. On local chapter wikis we described ourselves, but on this page we could write more :) "Who is who" will allow us to find parnners for cooperation regarding specific problems, I hope.

Communication[edit]
We need a platform of communication. It means, that we need space of communication both - own wiki or some pages on meta-wiki and good system of communication - IRC, mailing list etc. There is important time for communication, which will be aproachable for all chapters. I want to ask you: When could we organize meetings on the Internet and how? In our chapter we have worked out practces of communication. We could use it for the moment
