Thanks. Stuff like that is useful to have as examples.
If it's possible to engage some of the GLAM institutions here in NYC and around the world in doing donations like this, I know I for one would like to strongly promote and support this type of Wikidata+Commons-focused initiative. I think other chapters might be able to integrate this into ongoing initiatives and annual editathons that are in the GLAM-o-sphere.... We have some coming up this Fall but that is probably too soon? Is there a tentative timeframe for this project? I see a lot of work was done in 2014.
We definitely need to talk more to institutions as we make progress, yeah. I'll ping when we've reached a good development state for that. As for timeline: I am hesitant to make any predictions because there are a lot of unknowns - technical and social. For one the Commons community has to not think this is a terrible idea ;-)
