Thanks much Rute, this is absolutely on point and a great addition. I would encourage folks to add more in this area.

We know ourselves that GLAM is much more than those four types of institutions, and includes educational institutions, aquariums, music institutions, arboretums, scientific institutions, et al. But it would be good to note this in the document.

Thanks to Amanda for adding some of this already:

I have been thinking for some time about how we might better generalize GLAM as "public interest knowledge institutions" which would result in the very odd acronym PIKIWIKI :)

Susanna Ånäs has also re-contextualized GLAM as Global Languages Art and Memory, which I also like.

Hi,

I understand that most WiRs are in GLAM contexts, but it would be great if we could add some parts that go beyond this scope. I am mainly thinking about the fact that a WiR can be in a variety of institutions. Personally, as a newcomer in a different type of institution (university), it has been particularly challenging to navigate these waters as these two parts (WiR and GLAM) often overlap, but the GLAM focus doesn't necessarily answer to all needs.

I haven't changed the Meta page, as I don't really have anything more specific to add, but thought this could be valuable.

Wishing you all a lovely day/night/long weekend. :)

Cheers,

Hi all, good conversation!

Rachel and Z, I think we're on the same page. I think any specific efforts are good to put down in order to highlight or illustrate any of the MCDC themes. Their charge to "Feel free to refer to specific initiatives, recommendations or principles" allows us to be quite specific. 

I also see this as a useful exercise for ourselves. It helps us document how our work has fit into these large strategic goals. We can also cut it down if need be, as Z said.

I added some more details in the second section, but please add more!

I think individual activities are a bit too specific, but if it is a project or program worth documenting that links to any of the strategy implementations that should be good. Anyway - it is easier to edit and cut down if too specific, then the opposite ;-)

How specific do we want to be? I could link to some of my work, like the guide to creating book pages I wrote, or a popular image that I uploaded a higher-resolution version of, but I’m not sure if that’s what we’re going for.

Hi all, regarding the Wikimedia Summit, regardless of who we send, we will need to fill out the application form. So I've started a wiki page so we can collaborate on the answers. I've started it here but please do add and edit!  I have a feeling we are already over-performing in being relevant to the strategy process, but why not document it all, not only for them, but for us as well? :) Please edit!

I made a few edits but it would be good to have at least a few other people from other contexts to join in and form a bigger spectrum of contributions and contributors, otherwise we just render like a low capacity 1,1 man show ;-)
