I think the blue plaques is a lower hanging fruit. I thought someone
(TomMorris?) was involved with these plaques. I would have thought we would
be an obvious partner as we are not-for-profit and we would have a permanent
url to a farly good article in most cases with a good chance of
multi-lingual support.... and if you don't recognise "Enid Blyton - author"
then it would be an added service. (And if you were brought up in France
then you may not know who she is).
Anyone fancy banging on a ministry door?
It would take a long time to do though unless we could find a stick on or
easily attachable (and) durable method of adding one to an existing plaque.
The other obvious customer is "Wiki Loves Monuments"
You may not have seen this new but the Juan Miro exhib opens on Friday in
Barcelona (biggest for 20 years) and Wikipedians are the curators and its
all QRpedia'd by Kippelboy et al. If you get a minute then give a polish to
the Joan Miro painting articles (easy to find in template). There is support
for about 5 languages, but if you can type Welsh etc then now is the time to
show it off
Best wishes
See you Sunday

We should also get QRPedia codes on blue plaques,
monuments, and war
memorials. :-)
Yes. I am sure English Heritage would jump at the prospect!
