[Commons-l] Fwd: Wikipedia Loves Art

[Andrew Turvey]

FYI, our plan is to start with the Hunter Museum in Tennessee as a 
test, because this is our smallest museum set. 

Thanks,

Great news. I would suggest letting people know on the VP and doing a 
test upload of, say, 10 images just to check there are no technical 
problems or other issues that might need to be discussed before mass 
uploading starts.
