Great to hear, Luca. If you are doing the technical part, who is the person to speak to for the project and licensing?
Luca was speaking about Pietro Liuzzo, and Italian researcher based in London and working for the EAGLE project. We spoke a lot (just this week) about the state of the project, and I can just repeat that we have still a long way to convince all the project partners to release all the material which might be interesting for Wikimedia projects. Pietro is a member of Wikimedia Italia as well and wholeheartly shares our goals and vision, but he's not in charge and he's pushing diplomatically the project towards a more shared and collaborative approach. Not very easy with 8 different universities in 8 different countries... As you can imagine, every academic domain has his own approach toward sharing and open collaboration, lets say that in Latin and Greek epigraphy they are a bit closed (i recently discovered that the "papyri" domain is on the other hand very open... :-)
