...or to put it another way - thanks heaps for letting us know about this
endeavor, pharos :-) - Liam (User:Witty Lama), and Brianna
(User:Pfctdayelise) are also (actually much better, to be honest!) connected
with the museum folks, though I'm popping back in to see them in a couple of
weeks, so will definitely sing the praises of this project, and pick their
brains to find out where they're at with it :-) I'm sure we'll try and run
with the idea :-)
Sibling relationships aren't always smooth, I guess - but I'd hope we could
generally aim for a friendly welcoming tone where poss. - and certainly in
dealings with other WMF chapters.... by the way - I love the idea of
'Chapter Twinning' - and would like to suggest to the committee that we look
at formalising our relationship to NYC as such - there are heaps of benefits
as I see it (happy to chat further) - what do others think?
cheers,
Peter
PM.

Um, I just put his name on there because he has a little experience
with the Powerhouse people. Noone has appointed him in charge of
anything, and he never asked for such a thing (it was my initiative to
list the name there, largely just as a reminder to myself).
Surely things such as this should have been sent
to the committee.
This is what I'm doing now, by sending it to your mailing list. It's
up to you how you want to help organize this.
Thanks,

Hi folks,
Greetings from "sister" chapter-in-formation Wikimedia New York City.
We've been looking to follow up on our Wikipedia Take Manhattan events:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Manhattan
with a museum photography contest.
We've been in touch with the local Brooklyn Museum, and they've in
turn reached out to a number of other world museums that are part of
The Commons on Flickr project:

The result? An event planned for February 2009:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Art
And the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney is one of the institutions that is
interested in this project (it's still in preliminary discussion).
I've put Private Musings as interim contact person just because he has
had dealings with Powerhouse before. I hope he is interested in
working on Wikipedia Loves Art, but of course this is a project for
everyone in Wikimedia Australia.
Thanks,
Pharos
