Hi Beat and all,
Conducting Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Public Art are good to start.
We have many media in the commons especially photographs unused in any
project.
Wiki-RIC concept is to have a photo campaign for meaningful use. That's
why it is considered important and rated highest in the conference.
Let's think this aspect of Wiki RIC positively.
Best,
Ganesh K. Paudel

Dear all,****
** **
Today, I have transferred the documentation of the Wiki Loves Monuments
Future Workshop (Wikimania 2013, Hong Kong) to the WLM portal:****

Given the results of the workshop and the feedbacks received from the
participants so far, it seems that we are heading for three international
photo contests next year:****
** **
**- **Wiki Loves Monuments****
**- **Wiki Loves Earth****
**- **Wiki Loves Public Art****
** **
There was also a fourth proposal, “WikiRIC – Requested Image
Competition” that was very highly rated by the workshop participants. – I
think it would be great to see also a pilot project implementing this idea
during next year. To my knowledge, no project group has formed yet. Those
who signaled their interest are therefore warmly invited to coordinate the
formation of a project team! (let me know if you need the contacts of the
people that were interested to help implementing this approach!)****

*Suggestions for the next steps:*
* *
I think it would be great if for each contest a core group for 2014
would form that:****
** **
**- **sets up an international project page for 2014, so
interested countries can sign up****
**- **sets up a mailing list for the coordination of the contest
(in case this hasn’t happened yet)****
**- **follows up on the evaluation of this year’s contests and
starts working on the improvements for next year (some improvements might
concern the institutional setup, so it would be wise to start early)****
** **
Furthermore, I would suggest, that the coordinators of the three
thematic contests get together (online), to discuss:****
** **
**- **when which contest is going to take place in 2014 (this
year we had an overlap between WLPA and WLE, which is probably not ideal)
****
**- **how to tackle the technical issues in 2014 (there are many
potential synergies, and there is also a lot of room for improvement)***

Kind regards,****
