Wikipedia Sister Project, Wikimedia Commons, Creates RSS Feed for
Popular Picture of the Day*
ST PETERSBURG, FL - Wikimedia Commons, the sister project to Wikipedia,
announces the creation of a RSS feed for its popular "Picture of the
Day." Wikimedia Commons is a wiki repository for freely-licensed media,
including pictures, videos, sound, animations, and diagrams, among others.
"Pictures of the Day" are certified as Quality Images or Featured
Pictures , and represent /the best of the best/ in freely licensed
media content available today. Currently, content is licensed under the
GNU Free Documentation License. This means that all content can be
freely used, edited, copied and distributed.
Currently, there are several ways to access the Picture of the Day - by
visiting the Wikimedia Commons mainpage, subscribing to the daily-image
mailing lists, embedding the Picture of the Day into your personal
website, downloading the Picture of the Day computer desktop wallpaper,
or subscribing to the Picture of the Day RSS feed. Additionally,
Livejournal users can add the commons Picture of the Day feed to their
friend's list.
Launched on September 2, 2004, Wikimedia Commons is maintained entirely
by volunteers. The project uses the same wiki-technology as other
Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons hit the
1,000,000 upload media file milestone on November 30, 2006. Currently it
contains 1,215,836 files and 55,835 collections.
To get involved, individuals simply need an internet connection and any
type of digital artwork they would like to contribute to the world.
