Hey Frank,
This is an awesome idea! I'm interested.

Hi all,
I was wondering whether anyone here would be interested in helping me to
improve Wikipedia's coverage on cheese.
Cheese? Yes. Background is that the French chapter recently started a
project called "WikiCheese".[1] Wikipedia's coverage of food-related
topics
is patchy and articles about cheese are not an exception. So, French
community members started WikiCheese, which aims at systematically filling
content gaps.[2]
Now, Northern California has an incredibly rich and interesting artisan
cheesemaker scene.[3] Cowgirl Creamery (Point Reyes Station), Epicurean
Connection (Sonoma), Vella Cheese Company (Sonoma)… just to name a few.
Last weekend, I went on a tour and started photographing a couple of
cheeses as well as cheese production at Cowgirl Creamery:

I'm wondering whether any of you on this list would like to join me on my
next excursion (date and time tbd.) You
* don't need to be a cheese expert (I'm not)
* don't need a fancy camera (actually, text contributions would be highly
welcome as well)
* don't necessarily need to own a car (I do)
All you need is some time and enthusiasm :-)
I haven't yet started a project page on Wikipedia – so in case you're
interested, please send a reply to this list. Once a few people show their
interest, we'll plan the next steps.
Thanks,
Frank
