As long as there is no mirror of Wikipedia in Europe, I don't think any 
affiliate there will have any responsibility about Wikipedia content.
Am I right?

And as long as there is no technical advantage, which seems to be the case 
with current projects, I don't think we should set up a official mirror in 
Europe. However everybody is free to have his own private mirror under his 
responsibility.

As I already said, the advantages to have a local affiliate (at least in 
France) is for coordination of Wikipedia promotion: collecting funds, 
organising talks and meetings, selling goodies (tee-shirts, posters...), etc.

I just got another invitation for a conference and a booth for May 26th and 
27th in a "Linux / Free Software for Education" event organised by the local 
academic institution (in south-east of France, near Geneva). A similar event 
took place last year. If you want more details, see http://www.linuxedu.org/, 
in French of course.

Yann
