Hello everyone (adding comms into this because this may be pertinent as well):
Yesterday, the #NEWPALMYRA project launched a new online community platform and data repository dedicated to the capture, preservation, sharing, and creative reuse of data about the ancient city of Palmyra. Furthermore, the collected data will be released into the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero license at NewPalmyra.org. We, along with MIT Media Lab, EFF, Mozilla, and others are listed as supporters.
On their landing page, you can download the Temple of Bel 3D model and it includes a call for participation, specifically asking users to contribute info and media about Palmyra to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia.
Thank you for reviewing and love to hear your comments.

Also, do we need the all-caps hashtag?

Hi Ed,
No we don't need to use the all-caps actually (all-caps does not sound like our tone and it doesn't impact being included the hashtag conversation). All, sounds like LGTM to me.

They do LGTM. Thanks Michael! Nice job. Thursday afternoon and evening are woeful times for us to post. How about sprinkling throughout the weekend, especially mornings? Fri, Sat, Sun mornings are our best times, and we often got nuthin'.

I completely agree, Jeff.
Perhaps we can schedule some of these, starting tomorrow morning (8am sounds good to me).
