Ravi,
When I observe the activities of the Dutch chapter I find that they take up
things that volunteers are not able to. They are things that are often
complex and take a large network. What the Dutch chapter does for GLAM is
much more than reaching out to individual GLAM institutions. It takes a
full time effort of very dedicated people.
Your assumption that it is about building a better Wikipedia indicates to
me how limited your notion is about what it takes to "share in the sum of
all knowledge".
I do not know CIS enough to categorically state that they are in the same
league. What I have seen is however encouraging. What I do know and I said
it before, the challenges to bring the sum of all knowledge to India is
overwhelming. The biggest challenge apparently is people.
Thanks,
GerardM

Vishnu,
Volunteers come and volunteers go. That is the nature of the movement.
Do you propose to build a better Wikipedia with paid staff?
Please try.
Ravi
