There's an idea I'd like to put forward to the Irish community, to see if it would help to grow the Irish Wikipedia. People have been looking for ideas about how to help the smaller Wikipedias grow. I'd like to try a pilot project with the Irish community, if you're amenable. The basic idea is to build interest in the project with quality media. Two things happen when people see featured pictures about their culture: they're delighted and they want to share information.

This will also have other useful effects.
Talking to London museum people, the main thing they want is for their collections to be *used* - essentially, we pay them in credit. So a programme to get stuff up will make life easier for Irish editors to deal with Irish museums.
