Hello,
unfortunately we have not received any replies after this thread. As I understand it, there is some enthusiasm with individuals, but nobody is prepared to take a lead, within or outside Wikimedia UK? Basically what you need is two types of leadership:
- someone to set up a primary structure on Wikipedia - basically a
Wikiproject - and motivates others to help out setting up the list system (this is the most important and urgent job) 2) someone to do the real life part of the organization: organize a brainstorm meeting, organize a meeting with the relevant authorities to get the databases released if not yet available, to find sponsors, set up a budget etc.
Any volunteers? I hope Wikimedia UK can pick up from here though ;-)
In fact something is supposed to be happening with the English Heritage file of Scheduled Monuments, which is a free but awkward download. I'll update this list when there is some actual news.
