Dear all,
as the subject of Wiki Loves Monuments calendars has already been
brought up
on this list, I feel it's time to provide you with some general
information
about them, our order process, and shipment information.
This is going to be quite a long e-mail, so I'll jump straight to the
topic.
== Specification == # The calendars are going to consist of 14 pages: the front cover with
the
overall winner; back cover with licencing information and information
about
the contest, etc.; and 12 pages, one for each month of the year, with the remaining top-13 pictures. # They are going to be A4 in size, and will be printed on a high quality paper in a environment-efficient way, thanks to the involvement of die Umweltdruckerei. # The weight is not yet known (definitely < 400 g per item), but we'll
try
to make them as lightweight as possible, as this will have a huge impact
on
the shipping costs.
== Ordering and shipment == # Thanks to die Umweltdruckerei, every country will receive 15 calendars
for
free. The shipment of those 15 copies will be covered from the
international
budget, so you won't need to pay anything at all if you order just this number. # If you'll need more than those 15 copies, you'll be able to order more, but you'll need to cover the costs of the additional copies yourselves,
and
also cover the additional costs of shipment. # The cost of one copy is €3.51 (that's €2.95 + 19% of valued added tax
in
Germany). # Shipping costs for additional copies will vary depending on the
distance.
You will receive the estimated shipping costs as soon as possible. # It is currently not possible for individuals to purchase the
calendars; it
will only be possible if the Wikimedia Foundation or a chapter decides to order a bigger quantity and include them in their own shops or produce
the
calendars by themselves using our design. # The design file will be released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence, and
will
be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as soon as it's ready, so you'll be
able
to use it for your own purposes, including selling the calendars in a
shop
as mentioned above.
Great, and 3,5 EUR per copy seems to be resonable price. Would be good to see the design before we have to make decission. Maybe - you could just insert into the design some exemplary pictures (for example randomly choosen featured pictures from Commons) to let us see how it might look like. Otherwise we are forced to make a blind decission :-)
Hallo All,
we still don´t have a final design, but I will upload it as soon as possible.
Best Kelda
