Thanks. Stuff like that is useful to have as examples.
If it's possible to engage some of the GLAM institutions here in NYC and
around the world in doing donations like this, I know I for one would
like
to strongly promote and support this type of
Wikidata+Commons-focused
initiative. I think other chapters might be able to integrate this into
ongoing initiatives and annual editathons that are in the
GLAM-o-sphere....
We have some coming up this Fall but that is
probably too soon? Is there
a
tentative timeframe for this project? I see a lot
of work was done in
2014.
We definitely need to talk more to institutions as we make progress,
yeah. I'll ping when we've reached a good development state for that.
As for timeline: I am hesitant to make any predictions because there
are a lot of unknowns - technical and social. For one the Commons
community has to not think this is a terrible idea ;-)
Ha!
As long as it doesn't depreciate and force folks onto Wikidata (like
Authority Control) -- if it's so pretty like this one Pharos did, maybe
they could be convinced! :-)
Thanks again, Lydia!
