I think that would be fantastic - particularly in light of<br><br><a href="http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2009/02/05/1233423410351.html?feed=fairfaxdigitalxml">http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2009/02/05/1233423410351.html?feed=fairfaxdigitalxml</a><br>

In terms of activist groups potentially contributing to Commons:<div><br><div>When I was in Hobart recently for Linux Conference Australia 2009 the &quot;Steve Irwin&quot; (the Flagship of the Sea [[Shepherd]] anti-whaling group) had just pulled in to port for refueling and supplies. I had a chat with their photographer who was documenting events and said that wikipedia would be very interested in hosting their &quot;action shots/videos&quot;. [I didn&#39;t have the time to explain the difference between Wikipedia, Commons etc. :-) ] I gave him my card and will hopefully hear from them when the whaling season is over. I made sure to explain the priniciple of encyclopedic NOPV - and that we would not be &quot;promoting&quot; their cause but would be very willing to host their documentary images/video if it were licensed appropriately. We&#39;ll see how we go!</div>

 <br>It seems members of the anti-scientology movement are interested in contributing to commons - I&#39;ve heard tell of some early en-wiki volunteers being previously active in usenet scientology discussions, so it&#39;s interesting to see the next generation plugging in...<br>
