Anyone is welcome to attend, so if you're aware of others who may be interested, please share. Unable to attend or curious to know more now, please visit our Meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/View_it!_Tool and sign up for updates (or beta testing) or email Jamie Flood (jamie.flood2@gmail.com
View it! is a tool that will show Wikipedia users (editors and hopefully readers, too) relevant Wikimedia Commons media depicting - or otherwise related to - the article they are viewing.
The number of images displayed in a Wikipedia article is finite and highly curated by editors; through View it! users will have access to the full catalog of images available on Wikimedia Commons. View it! will increase discoverability of Wikimedia Commons uploads and encourage contributors to utilize Commons and structured data https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data.
Please join Dominic Byrd-McDevitt (User:Dominic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dominic), Kevin Payravi ( User:SuperHamster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SuperHamster), and Jamie Flood (User:JamieF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JamieF) to share more about the vision for View it! and have a community conversation about functionality of the tool and suggestions for structured data to be utilized.
We look forward to chatting with you and hope you’ll join us!
Thank you,
Dominic, Kevin, & Jamie
