[Wikimediaau-l] NLA - picture Australia

[Liam Wyatt]

If you're interested in following up with this at the NLA, the fellow  
who you should open discussions with is Basil Dewhurst:
http://www.nla.gov.au/apps/extaffdir?action=Display&id=99411

I'm not sure if he is the 'official' boss of Picture Australia, but  
the last time I checked he is the fellow who runs the show at the  
practical level. He would be able to put us on the right track very  
quickly I imagine.

Very nice and amiable fellow too!

Currently Flickr has an arrangement for image uploaded there over  
1900px on the shortest side can be added to a group call Picture  
Australia provided they are under a creative commons license. Then  
NLA runs a bot and transfers the images across to them.

Commons has so many images related to Australia all under a free  
license of some sort including Creative Ccommons, maybe WMau could  
consider establishing a similar connection. That would mean that all  
images in an Australian category would be automatically added to NLA  
collection as well.
