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... :-)
