Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 ?

Hi Nicolas, all, thanks for bringing up the question, which may well be on the minds of many. I have not coordinated this response in the international team, but this is based on my best understanding of our situation. You're entirely correct that there are many uncertainties. It's hard to look ahead more than a week or two, let alone 4 months. At this point, I don't believe that it's wise to make assumptions where we will be in September, or make decisions based on those assumptions. Because things may be better (we all hope!) but they may also be much worse. Over the next months, the international team will keep a close eye on the situation and develop scenarios what we can do, and what we can't. I expect that we will make some kind of decision by early July. I want to acknowledge that this brings an extra layer of uncertainty for all the hundreds of volunteers involved with Wiki Loves Monuments across the world. Unfortunately, we're currently not in a position to make a clear cut decision. I do want to make clear that of course we would never ask or encourage anyone to go against shelter orders or otherwise endanger people - and I expect the national teams will feel the same about this. If you're looking for things that you can do at this time in preparation that will be worthwhile irrespective of the outcome of WLM 2020, I encourage to take the time to reflect on your data infrastructure. How can we improve the data quality, how can we establish better uniformity? If people are interested in that, we should spin up a separate thread, and see how different countries can help each other on this. This kind of data structures are useful no matter when it becomes sound again to go out and take photos. I hope everyone is safe and stays safe - no matter what the situation in your country looks like. If there are specific concerns you have aside from these, please do reach out.
