Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Update on activities around Flickr collaboration

Hi all, Here is a status update about our collaboration with Flickr. * 5 cities have already signed up to organize photowalks: San Francisco and Denver in the US, Berlin in Germany, Leon in Spain, and Melilla. Our Flickr contacts have told us that they expect to see (many) more cities join in the coming couple of weeks. At this point, I see discussions about Brisbane, Australia and an invitation for photowalks in Italy (Thanks, Nemo!) * In Wikimania, bunch of us sat together and designed a user-flow that can help Flickr users identify which monuments are eligible, how to contribute, and how their uploads is to be brought to Wikimedia Commons. ** Paweł is working on a landing page that Flickr walk organizers and/or photographers can go to and get information about the eligible monuments. We will start testing the interface with the 5 cities mentioned above in the coming days. If you are the point of contact for the corresponding countries on our end, you may receive pings from us with question. :) ** Maarten started working on the bot that will read the images on Flickr and bring them to Commons. (The task is tracked at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173056) * As always, please make sure the list of definitely participating countries is updated. This is especially critical now that we have created external dependencies, i.e., people are organizing photowalks based on the information in this table: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_ Monuments_2017/Participating_countries#Definitely_participating_countries That's it for now. :) Comments and questions are welcome!
