That’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing joe...
really curious how they are using Wikidata for this and where they want to go.
I wasn’t able to make it to the event the other Monday when Lane was in town ... I was
bummed to have missed you Lane! ... but maybe we should sch a informal Cascadia meet up at
Allegra soon? Would be interested to hear what people are thinking about..working on.
Also would like to invite the Jacob Lawrence team to join and librarians I’ve connected
with in the area ...
And - also There’s an upcoming editing event at Jacob Lawrence gallery - join! Saturday
May 12, 1-5p

Might be a project that Whose Knowledge <https://whoseknowledge.org/>
(started by a couple of WMF ex-pats) is interested in supporting? They
don't have a lot of technical resources of their own, but are probably
connected with the right networks.

I talked this evening with Felix Nartey (

along in arranging to do some orally-based work with people from indigenous
cultures there. However, the want to use Wikidata to track their content,
and on data modeling they are very much just beginners. I told them that I
suspect I am not the only Cascadia Wikimedian who would be interested in
helping them work out a schema to model the data, since several of us have
relevant skills. This might eventually also be of benefit to us locally as
well, for cultural stuff with ethic groups and tribes/nations in our
geographic area. Not sure all of what this will ultimately entail from us,
but Felix seems rock-solid, so we'd have a strong collaborator on the other
end: I'm pretty sure they can sort out most of what data they'd want to
track, and we'd just have to devise a schema.
Are there others in Cascadia besides just me who'd be interested in taking
this on? Anyone know someone not yet a Wikimedian (or not all that active)
who might find this interesting?
