Is 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM on Thursday 9/15 still
available as a date to work
with the HLSL's French Coutumes collection?
If so, then we could put up a Wikipedia geonotice for the event, and let
people know on the
meetup.com group (as well as next Monday's meetup). We
could also announce the event to relevant WikiProjects, e.g. WikiProject
Law, WikiProject France, etc.
Would it be possible to upload media for this collection to Wikimedia
Commons?
Best,
Eric
