Wikimedia Switzerland's board and paid-editing firm; passing of Ed Dravecky

Some of the attendees at the chapter's recent annual general assembly

The Swiss Wikimedia chapter was founded on May 14, 2006, almost exactly ten years ago. It counts about 250 paid-up members and is one of only two chapters allowed to process income from fundraising banners directly. Recent discussions on the French Wikipedia have drawn attention to the involvement of some of the chapters' current board members in a paid-editing firm. The Signpost investigated this issue.
