Via Anna, on WMIT list: «The video circulated around the 26th of February, 2015 shows the horrific destruction of the Mosul Museum by ISIS Fighters. This is not the first time this museum has suffered during times of conflict, but the destruction is nearly absolute, and this time we can respond through the application of digital technologies to cultural heritage. [...]

We propose to coordinate a volunteer effort of experts and amateurs in the crowdsourcing of the necessary digital imagery and the creation of digital surrogates for the artefacts in the museum.»

They plan to make a list of objects and ask people to upload photos of them. Reminds you something? :)

I proposed them to use Wikimedia Commons and they seem positive about it: https://github.com/neshmi/projectmosul/issues/9 . Please help them figure out how to work on/with Commons.
