the creation of the chapter :)
starting up the first programs (article writing competition, picture competion, micro grants program)
getting into contact with universities, scientific societies, libraries, government departments
low number of active members, tasks towering on very few people
the Hungarian legal situation of the projects and the chapters is often ambiguous leading to uncertainty, tensions inside the projects and slow administration
domain problems (especially wikimedia.hu)
Plans for the short term (1 year)
increasing the membership to 40-50 (with about 10 active members)
increasing the efficiency and reputation of our projects
organizing further programs to support the community and the projects Plans for the medium term (3 years)
several bigger partnerships to increase and better the projects
publishing
regular Wikipedia teaching, workshops; organizing conferences on promoting the spread of free knowledge
to sign or discuss the chapters agreement, discuss the relationship between the WMF and the chapters and issues of trademark.
to get familiar with the activity, the experience and the representatives of other chapters
perhaps working out international programs and collaborations
