The image copyright discussion reminds me of an idea that has been going through my head for a while. How about an organized effort to create (shoot) public domain photos of important people/places/events? I am not a photographer so I would be a bad person to lead this WikiProject, but maybe there are people on this list who would be interested in it.
Basically, the effort would have to be organized in such a way that
- interested photographers put their names and locations on the page and put
the page in their watchlist
- interested users add people, places, things, events etc. to a To Do list.
Photographers add their names to the list if they want to finish a task. The task is moved into a "Finished tasks" list later and the photos are uploaded.
This is IMHO a great idea, and one I'd love to participate in (once my FM2 returns from the shop). If no one has started the page yet, let me know and I will. If the page has been started, please point me to it. :-)
