Dear all,

In order to use the GLAM wiki toolset and do mass uploads of media from institutions such as museums we need their metadata to be in an appropriate xml format.

So we are looking for volunteers who know or would be willing to learn xml and are interested in helping museums do mass uploads to Commons.

A good understanding of the Commons category structure is also useful as the idea is to format the xml in such a way as to enable the migration of metadata.

If you'd like to get involved we'd like to hear from you whether or not you already know xml as if there is sufficient interest we can organise an xml training session.

Regards
