I am keen to move [the World Wars project] further, though I don't have much time spare until the New Year as I'm mainly occupied on the Fundraiser. So at the moment I'm mainly collating interested parties, with a view to getting a core group of Wikimedians together who want to shape what we do with this, and a core group of partner institutions, and putting the two groups together in a room in January or February and seeing what they come up with in terms of inspiration for the period 2012-2014.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for all the information. Well, perhaps you'd like to add me to any list you're keeping of interested parties?
There's a chance I might venture out for a meeting but I do generally find that sort of thing a bit daunting and have health issues making it all rather difficult, so I may just avail myself of any minutes or record of any face-to-face stuff that comes out. I can then respond on-wiki as directed or under my own steam. If you (or anyone) is able and willing to do an audio or video recording of any meetings that would be brilliant for me. Perhaps too much of a faff just to accommodate me and maybe off-putting for some participants but please consider it. On the plus side, a video might serve to recruit people to the project if there is any interesting contributions from institutions and Wikipedians.
Please do get in touch in the new year when you take further action.
It wouldn't have occurred to me that we're approaching the centenary without seeing that on the activity plan today, so thank you for that.
