I like the idea of a ROV or an underwater camera. Presumably the advantage of an ROV is that it could go deeper? I've no idea about the relative costs and capabilities of such devices, but I was wondering if it had such technology available, would the charity be willing to lend it to underwater Archaeologists on condition that they release the resulting images on Commons?

I suspect there is a big potential opportunity here for the charity to partner with Academia. Especially Biologists and Archaeologists.

As well as the underwater stuff where to be honest conditions are not always ideal for photography, has the technology of micro blimps yet got to the point where we could buy a machine that could fly inside large buildings and take photos at otherwise impossible vantage points? If so we should consider talking to English Heritage, the National Trust or the C of E.

It might be worth talking to Peter Weis in Haburg; he's involed in a
similar project for WikimediaDE.
