New WIR projects
- 15k in the budget [and must be spent!], need to find options
- WSC: put a note on the mailing lists for suggestions.
- Fae: put up an ideas page on wiki.
- Proposals from institutions might be public but responses from individuals might be problematic.
-- Openness might be an issue.
- There is some background on GLAMwiki relating to this. See also http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/GLAMcampAmsterdamSun-DocumentationResidence
- Unlikely to spend much this FY, but can get money committed.

ACTION on  Daria to create a page on '[http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012-13_Wikipedians_in_Residence WIR 2012-13]' with a couple of paras about our plans to use the budget and invitations for organisations to submit bids via a simple application from that would ask for contact details, timescale, any matched funding and details of what the WIR would do and achieve.

Group to critique this ASAP so that it can be distributed to Community and via "Culture 24'.
