well we could go back to the start:

2.5 years ago (will need to check that things haven't changed in that time) in the Portsmouth natural history museum (or as the
natives call it Cumberland House). When I was there I saw this:

If you look at the text in the right column (may need to view image at
full size) you will find that it is not only dated (it's treating 1982
as recent)  but is treating the [[Almas (cryptozoology)]] thing
seriously. The museum doesn't really have any money so this isn't
something that is likely to be fixed by them any time soon.

I think offering to replace it with wikipedia based text along the
lines of say [[User:Geni/museum_sign]]  would fall within 7-8 of:

I don't know how much doing such a replacement would cost but I would
be surprised if it passed the limit of our micro grant program.
Wikimedia-UK would need to be involved to cover use of the logo and
the like.

==Advantages==

*Museum gets a better sign
*New way to spread wikipedia content
*Gives us the chance to produce a real world example of the type of
signs we would like to see (QR code and the like)
*Helps draw attention to gaps in Wikipedia (in this case it failed to
mention how much Neanderthals weigh)
*It may get us some good will with the Portsmouth museum service which
since they hold one of the larger collections of ship paintings could
be kinda handy
*May get us some new editors who are interested in working on such signs.
*It's a concrete real world activity that we can point to as an
example of what we are doing.

==Disadvantages==

*Might be more expensive than expected
*Images are an issue in this case (need to check copyright status of
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Homo_neanderthalensis_models
)
*Scale we can do this on is limited both financially and finding
people to write such signs

==Neutral==

*They might say no

We are now dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's on QRpedia. The next question is how do we make sure the community benefits from it? Do we need training, events etc? We have already started a FAQ page to help those who want to use it but is there more we can do?

Can we get some ideas going?
