I'm just on the technical part of the project, so I don't know why the
universities didn't share the original texts too. It should be noted
also that this project started with clear boundaries, and we cannot
press too much the institutions to release data they don't want -
still - to share.
At the present moment, there is a lot of discussions and "lobbying" to
explain that the Universities could benefit in releasing the transcriptions
(and other data) in CC licenses, but it's a long battle.
We will win, of course :-)
As Luca was saying, we are very proud of this projects, and hopefully
more insights
and feedbacks will come in the future, from the academic
community.
At the present moment, Wikibase is proving itself a
great software for
collaboration with structured data (which of course was the goal
from the
beginning).
Great to hear, Luca. If you are doing the technical part, who is the person
to speak to for the project and licensing?
Gerard, if this is the first project outside of wmf concerning wikidata,
what is the first project including wmf?
