I see Sara posted it on the VP as well: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Blog_post:_interview_with_George_Oates_about_Wikimedia_Commons :) >>As for the actual topic of the interview, I am glad to see an outside opinion >>from someone who has experience with large, community-driven media >>repositories.

This is true as well. BTW: If my initial post sounded a bit rude, please excuse for that. 😊 --Steinsplitter ________________________________ Von: Commons-l <[email protected]> im Auftrag von Magnus Manske via Commons-l <[email protected]> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 31.

I, too, find the Facebook/Medium discussion reroute unfortunate (I'm not even on Facebook), though it might help attract some more newcomers. I'm sure we can find a suitable place to discuss this on-wiki, and there should be an appropriate link for that. As for the actual topic of the interview, I am glad to see an outside opinion from someone who has experience with large, community-driven media repositories. I might not agree with all the sentiments, and structured data and out Next Big Thing did not exactly feature prominently, but I find it refreshing to leave the echo chamber once in a while.

It is antithetical to the principles of most of our participants. I’m profoundly disappointed that a discussion on Facebook would be promoted by the office of GLAM and Structured Data, Wikimedia Foundation.
