WLM in Belgium
by Maarten Dammers 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hi everyone, Starting Wiki Loves Monuments in Belgium is a bit of a challenge. To make things easier Wikimedia Nederland registered the site http://wikilovesmonuments.be and started a mailing list to discus the project in Belgium at http://lists.wmnederland.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wlm-be . People from Belgium: Please help! Other people: Please point out the list to your friends from Belgium :-) Maarten

Europeana and statistics
by Andrea Zanni 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hi all. Has been a pleasure to meet you all in Berlin. I wanted to share this link: http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/2011/05/17/dpla-europeana about Europeana and the meeting they're having in The Haag. Moreover, today I added "Statistics" as an Open Issue in our results: I was wondering if we could ask to the Foundation, instead of a grant, some work-time of Erik Zachte to set up a central/federal tool for statistics in Commons. He is probably the best person for that, and a tool ad hoc could serve many participant countries. (Actually, i'm thinking that asking work-time of an employee instead of "mere" money could be an efficient idea to get things done: we could talk about this to Sj, and then the Board of Trustees could discuss about it.) Still hoping to participate, cheers, Aubrey

I assume good faith and that people are lazy: Lot of the svg maps of Europe are broken or incomplete but nobody bothered to fix it. Feel free to update the map with a more correct one.

WLM and OSM
by Strainu 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, While looking at the Etherpad report of last weekend's meeting, I noticed that you're looking to get in touch with OSM. In Romania, we have pretty close connections with the OSM volunteers and we could probably provide support on that side. Please let me know if there is something specific that WLM would need (other than having a map of the monuments) Thanks, Strainu
