I think it should be note that Geograph pictures *were* badly organised. A bot has made substantial improvements to their categorisation. At one time we were had stopped moving images because of the poor categorisation. The bot may allow us to import a few hundred thousand more. (my opinion only). This is the work of one volunteer to bring c. 2 million images into better use.

John - you are in the office tomorrow - let's draw up a plan as to what needs to happen and make it one of the first tasks of the new GLAM organiser.
Would this be too late? They will probably not be around before the start of April (assuming a month notice/moving/etc), and the reference plan has WLM well along by then:

That said, it would certainly be an interesting project to get them off the ground with!
