Hey Eric

Great initiative. Was reading the diff post and what popped out immediately was that the image used is licensed NC ND :-) https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/09/02/do-you-want-support-with-content-partnerships-the-helpdesk-is-here-to-help/

This means we have a WMF project that is officially using NC and ND licenses. Something which was supported by the Strategy 2030, at least in part.

We at Wiki Project Med Foundation have started NC Commons to help facilitate the use of NC and ND licensed material within mediawiki installs. Not all countries, like the US, release government content public domain. Most, if they use openish licenses actually go with NC ones such as South Africa which we have here.

We are looking for help with batch uploading of NC and ND licensed material to NC Commons. We are working to move the data storage to Internet Archives as part of a collaboration with them to cut down on our hosting costs after which we want to look at importing Ted Talks and Khan academy videos.

Hi everyone,

A while back, Wikimedia Sverige announced the upcoming Helpdesk of the Content Partnerships Hub, a service to support Wikimedians that want to work with partners to share content on the Wikimedia platforms.

Now, when the Helpdesk is finally up and running, the next thing needed are your requests for help!

I just published a blog post on Diff [1] where I try to outline the process. A lot is still under development, but you can already now read more on the Helpdesk portal on Meta [2].

The basic idea, however, is that anyone that wants support with a project sends an email to helpdesk@wikimedia.se. Describe what you want to do and what you want to achieve, and in what way it contributes to filling a gap on the platforms, and the Helpdesk will do what it can to help. The support can be anything from technical and batch uploads to policy-making or advocacy. We look forward to getting your proposals!

We also want to invite Wikimedians to join the work. We plan to establish working groups to support with anything from communication to advocacy and actual uploads. If you are a volunteer or an affiliate that wants to support, please reach out as well! You can email helpdesk@wikimedia.se for this as well.

Best
