Hey,
this really sounds interesting! I'd love to forward it to the
[cultural-partners-l] List, what do you think? I see this as a great chance
to share experience and ideas around those QRpedia projects, and the list
is subscribed by many interested people from the whole movement.
Best,
Nicole

*Subject: *[Wikimedia ZA] Invitation to partake in JoburgpediA
Hear ye, hear ye
It is agreat pleasure to announce the formal endorsement of JoburgpediA
concept and the pilot project under this name, by the City of Johannesburg.
This means that we now have the permission to install QRcoded ceramic
plaques next to the prestigious City of Johannesburg Heritage plaques!
JoburgpediA follows on the foot steps of MonmouthpediA that was a great
success in Wales, and will be the first such project in Africa. Where
better to start it than in our very own Joburg?
The pilot project will be implemented between February and June 2013 and
will depend on a lot of volunteer wikimedians to assist in:
1- Translating submitted meta data into as many local languages as
possible. As well as French, German and Portuguese.
2- Organising and conducting 2 editathons.
3- Setting up and batch uploads of meta data that will be donated into
Wikipedia.
4- Creating templates
If you feel this is something you would like to spend the next 4 months
doing then please contact the project leads as follows:
Dumisani Ndubane : thuvack(a)gmail.com
David Richfield: dacidrichfield(a)gmail.com
You can also access basic project information and follow project progress
on our chapter wiki below:

We look foward to your positive response and feel free to extend this
invitation to your friend and families who may be as passionate about
Jo'burg.
Regards
Dumisani Ndubane
President of Wikimedia ZA
