Hi all
WMUK would like to provide better materials aimed at the general public which explain the benefits of open knowledge. I have already been signposted to some existing resources (provided by other organisations) but if you know of any really good materials on this, please let me know.
Also, if anyone would like to take on the task of writing a short, simple guide to open knowledge from a Wikimedia perspective, please let me know! This will go on our website but will also be a document that we can email to people as necessary.
Thanks Lucy
Open Knowledge, Open Data Institute, Creative Commons have lots of this kind of stuff, e.g. http://opendatahandbook.org/
This is good too: https://exposingtheinvisible.org/guides/decoding-data/
Who do you see as the audience for this guide you're proposing?

There would be more than one "Wikimedia" perspective: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:2016_Strategy/Knowledge suggests the number could run into three figures!
My own take, I suppose, is that a handbook or manual covering "open knowledge" is more of a rarity than advocacy for its merits. Which is rather cart before the horse.

As necessary for what? Outside of a few textbook and journal publishers its not as if there are many people who oppose the concept.
You want to see how open access journals are used on wikipedia?

Want to see some pretty pictures in use?

Want a project that could improve wikipedia's use of open access? Run Beall’s List against the database to see if there any references that need review:

I'd agree that "short, simple guide" isn't really a brief here: more a hope for brevity (pun intended). Charles

At the risk of sounding negative, I also don't think this seems like a very productive thing for the charity to spend time on. Lots of materials already exist that explain the benefits of open knowledge - and without a clear audience or channel in mind, creating more media seems a bit pointless.

I have one very small example. At a wiki meetup last month I met a the chair of a small local charity. They have an archive of interesting local material that the chair would like to consider scanning and releasing as PD or under a free licence. I was asked "do you have a short, simple, non-technical document I can give to my fellow trustees to explain why we ought to be doing this?" Although there is a lot of material out there that explains open knowledge and open licences in great detail it turns out that we don't actually have anything short and simple we can hand out or point members of the public to. And as a national charity that aspires to lead in this area we really ought to have something that concisely answers the question "why should I release my content?"

Might. Might not. They tend to focus on larger organisations.
Thanks for that clarification, Michael.
It should be noted, however, for a charity there may be a number of issues they may need to consider:
* Do they own copyright of images? Whilst generally images created by employees usually, unless otherwise stated, belong to their employers, the same does not apply to volunteers unless it is specifically included.
* Does instructing staff to investigate these issues fall within their charitable objects? Sorting out questions like the one above might take a certain amount of staff time, but unless releasing the images falls within their charitable objectives, diverting staff from core activities could be seen as an inappropriate use of charity resources.
This example immediately comes up against all sorts of specific issues which affect charities, perhaps one of the most regulated areas we could come up with.
I think Charles Matthews captured the diversity of Wikimedian views in his recent post, and I am not sure that WMUK could successfully synthesise a view point which would reflect this diversity without losing focus. Likewise Ed has indicated that there is a range of material out there which already offers a general view, even if no-one has thought to list this on the Wikipedia article.
I can't help of thinking of the wording adjacent to the very simply memorial to Sir Christopher Wren in St Paul's Cathedral: "Reader, if you seek his memorial - look around you." The day to day reality of Wikipedia is - in itself - probably one of the best argument for open knowledge. So perhaps the document should be "Using Wikimedia Commons as a repository for your Creative Commons media?" Thus guidelines could be provided for what material is suitable, what benefits arise from placing it on commons and what hoops may have to be jumped through in order to satisfy concerns about copyvio. all the best, Fabian aka Leutha

I think re: the GLAM resources, a lot of the material is about practical issues once the decision to release content has been made. Fabian rightly points out that lots of orgs are sympathetic to the desire to release content openly (or, at least, to have their content more widely used) but have various concerns or just inertia takes hold. This isn't a great example, but the JISC open access resources are targeted at HE orgs to help them overcome specific challenges, and https://www.jisc.ac.uk/content/open-access much of which could be adapted into internal business cases for a shift to OA (of course this is easier now as it's essentially mandated). There seems to be a gap in materials to support orgs in that stage, the "why we ought to be doing this?" stage, that aligns our goals in the benefits of open knowledge, with an organisations.

I would make the flyer generic, it can then be used by other English speaking organizations and shared on the Outreach wiki rather than hidden away on the chapter wiki and appearing like proprietary marketing. WMUK has co-funded many Wikimedian in Residence positions over the last five years, several have contributed materials and case studies to the Outreach wiki, contacting them and the current Wikimedians in Residence directly would get the flier produced on a good-will basis with no staff support needed. It could even be declared as an outcome of one of the funded projects, if that is important.

Dear all
Thanks for all your comments and input into this. I can understand why those working closely within the open knowledge sector might feel there isn't a need for information about why this matters, but the audience we're aiming this at are people working in smaller organisations and societies, or simply interested members of the public, who need an introduction to open. The idea would be to signpost to other, more comprehensive materials, rather than to reinvent the wheel. And I'm not imagining this would be a very time-consuming exercise. I think despite all the barriers and issues raised it makes sense that this information is contained somewhere on our website (although of course, it could be shared and re-used by anyone who wanted it!) In the first instance we are looking for some text, so your offer is greatly appreciated Sara! I'll get in touch with you separately about taking this forward.
All best Lucy

Could be. Horses for courses versus generic needs the context of an overall comms view, and I imagine the CE is working on this area.
I would like to row back slightly on what I said before, in that donations of data, not only or just media files, are becoming more relevant. I was at an event last night where this was on the agenda. These data "accessions" speak very directly to the concept of open knowledge; and "how" rather than "whether" is actually the likely stumbling point there.
