Over a month ago, an equipment exchange forum has been
started on
Wikimedia Commons at
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Equipment_exchange>, aiming
to be a place where "media contributors (...) can request, donate,
sell, or barter equipment for the production of free content,
including camera equipment, computer equipment, art supplies, and
software."
I recently raised this Commons page as an idea for Wikimedia UK to
support modest costs of international postage for items of obvious
benefit (and of reasonable quality) to the open knowledge projects.
This could be an interesting and relatively simple way for
inter-chapter collaboration to work at the small scale. See
<https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/2013_Activity_Plan/Ideas#International_Camera_Exchange>
for the UK proposal. I would encourage representatives from other
Chapters to make a comment on that ideas page, if you can imagine this
being a practical thing to get working.
Cheers,
Fae
