Hi Barbara, Thank you for your reply - I will be in touch very soon on exactly what you have suggested. Joris, Jesse and I are preparing the documentation for a Europeana Task Force focused on Wikimedia developments, to fit within their wider framework of task forces http://pro.europeana.eu/web/guest/network/task-forces Its broad task will be to identify what has gone on (and currently going on ) in this space, and to set a strategy for future Europeana-Wikimedia relations... and I think you've just nominated yourself to be part of it :-) More on this soon...
I'd like to hear more about the "Lizenzhinweisgenerator" too as I am setting the framework in this pre-wikimania period to build roadmap for a WMF grant to develop the next-generation of the GLAMwikiToolset and related projects. -Liam wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata On 3 July 2014 20:34, Barbara Fischer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Liam and Eric, > > collaborating with GLAMs in Germany I can only stress how important > technical support is to help GLAM to integrate their content to Wikimedia > projects.
