I picked up a paper copy of this brochure and I'm very impressed with it. I
think it will be useful at events and partnerships. My only gripe is that
the jigsaw piece character looks old-fashioned and flat, but I'm told the
Commons community themselves rejected alternatives.
Would it be a lot of work to create a localised version?

Hi Daria
I have read through this, and it looks very good indeed. I think that a
UK version could actually be pretty similar, except for some UK-specific
examples and a global change from the spelling 'license' to 'licence'.
(The
former is very offputting to me as a UK reader)

Hi All,
A new brochure about Wikimedia Commons has been produced. Designed to be a
companion brochure to the Welcome to Wikipedia brochure, it covers what
Commons is, how to upload files, how to use files, and the basics of free
licenses -

We would like to have a version printed in the UK as well. What are your
thoughts on the content? Do you think we already have a brochure that does
the job better?
Do let Stevie know (stevie.benton[image: at]wikimedia.org.uk) - we may
even manage to get it ready for Wiki Loves Monuments in September!
Many thanks,
Daria
