Yes. We need a Wikimedia Commons feature to make time capsules that will
open when images inside are public domain, 50 years, 100 years in the
future. Meanwhile, only admins can explore them.

For some images we could build a repository that
releases images to
commons on specific dates. I have hundreds of images that I can only
release now on a limited license, but in a few decades or maybe a century
could be broadened to PD. But I think for Italy we need to see the law
changed.

I think it is very interesting,
for example in Italy we had an earthquake and nearly
40-50 churches were severely damaged or destroyed (plus many houses and
other monuments, of course).
I actually have many of pictures of those damaged churches:
still, we don't have the authorization for publishing them (you still
remember our crappy law?)
So I don't know what I should do with them...

If we want to build up our image library of lost
monuments then WLM is
perhaps not the best place to start. Rather than a photo hunt for what is
available today we need a hunt through attics for things available from the
past. Much was destroyed in the war, and quite a bit since. Even where
buildings survived and were restored often the stained glass windows were
lost. But there are copyright issues when the photographers died in recent
decades. I would like to load some of my grandfather's photographs, and I
think that my Mother would have sole inheritance rights to his copyrights,
but with one of her uncles it gets more complex.

I was wondering if somebody had (or was willing
to prepare) a list of
monuments around the world that could have been photographed
during WLM 2011 timeline but no longer exist.
I think it would make for a great piece of news for release during the
contest, in the lines of [[en:Wikipedia:There is a deadline]] essay, to
motivate participation.
