I was having a think about this project and I wondered what the nascent UK chapter could easily do to help out for this. Two ideas sprang to mind:
- Looking at Wikipedia Loves Art on flikr, it mentions "Teams with the most
points at the end of the month will get cool prizes" (http://www.flickr.com/groups/wikipedia_loves_art/). Could/should Wiki UK maybe put up a prize for the best team at the Victoria & Albert? Say budget £50 and get a gift (somthing like this maybe: http://www.vandashop.com/product.php?xProd=142&s=1 with a message from the chapter?)
- Alternatively, if we arranged a particular day where a group of
wikipedians went down to capture images from the V&A, could we maybe do something where we had a reception and served coffee and sandwiches to people who had come down for it?
Has anyone done anythign like this before? Do you know what kind of thing would work?

We don't have the money at the moment. What can be done is combine a V&A morning/day with the monthly london meetup.
