Hi list, this is just to let you know that a group of Commons volunteers have just launched a crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo to fund a macro lens for Jeevan Jose a.k.a. Jkadavoor so as to allow him to take even better pictures of the amazing biodiversity in his home state of Kerala, India.
The pictures, of course, are released by Jee under a free licence and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and then used in Wikipedia articles in multiple languages.
As an uninvolved person who has just been made aware of this, all I can say is: have a look at the campaign page at http://igg.me/at/jkadavoor and decide for yourselves whether this is a project you want to help with.
[CC-ing this to the Commons mailing list as well.]
