It's worth noting that governments often expressly tell their galleries to be more "businesslike" and expressly require them to squeeze every penny from the (public domain) works they own. And to hell with the mission statement. So it'll be the usual mix of gentle one-at-a-time persuasion, luring people in, working under the radar, shifting paradigms, changing the culture, warping reality to a better shape, speaking softly and the occasional burst of action. Nothing we're not used to. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
