There's an idea I'd like to put forward to the
Irish community, to see if it
would help to grow the Irish Wikipedia. People have been looking for ideas
about how to help the smaller Wikipedias grow. I'd like to try a pilot
project with the Irish community, if you're amenable. The basic idea is to
build interest in the project with quality media.
Two things happen when people see featured pictures about their culture:
they're delighted and they want to share information.

This will also have other useful effects.
Talking to London museum people, the main thing they want is for their
collections to be *used* - essentially, we pay them in credit. So a
programme to get stuff up will make life easier for Irish editors to
deal with Irish museums.
