Two other people are doing this right now also! Is this a coincidence?

So on the wine project, the issue is we would have to target wines bottled before 1900, just to be quite sure there's no copyright issue on the wine bottles labels.
Having said that, you could imagine the price we'd have to pay to run that project.
On Twitter, last night, another wikimedian had a great idea. He suggested that we would buy a mass spectrometer so we could digitaly record the smell of the cheeses. Everyone could enjoy how smelly some are

Good news everyone,
Cheese articles are gonna get improved!
As french, it was dreadful for us to see so few illustrations of cheese
on
Wikipedia. This is about to change.
A group of french Wikimedians, lead by Pierre-Yves Beaudouin, designed
a
project to photograph many cheeses, up to 200 for the moment.
This project is perticular as we aim to have it found through a french crowdfunding platform, KissKissBankBank.
Of course Wikimedia France could have funded it itself, but we wanted
to
use the project as a way to get the larger audience aware of their
ability
to contribute and to give a fun image of contributing.
The project in few words iss follow :
- 10 cheeses per session
- During the session the cheeses are photographed and their articles
improved
- During the sessions experimented wikimedian would train new editors
- At every session every participant would enjoy eating good cheese too
If you want to read more, or even contribute, about the project you can
go
on KissKissBankBank : http://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/wikicheese
If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot them on or off
list.
All the best,
