I think there is an opportunity when this gets deployed to Commons (soon, I'm guessing?) to make a meaningful gesture and have the first 3D model uploaded to Commons be one from the #NEWPALMYRA project http://www.newpalmyra.org/ honoring Bassel Khartabil's memory. Bassel's efforts to document endangered or lost Syrian monuments was part of the inspiration that led me to implement the 3D extension at the Jerusalem hackathon.
If you agree that this is a good idea, I think we should coordinate this with the Communications department. And with #NEWPALMYRA, who can probably advise us on which model to pick and what detailed attribution/description should be attached to it. I think the whole arc makes for a blog-worthy story, including the fact that 3D support was picked from the community wishlist, which was the theme of the Jerusalem hackathon. And the original task itself, before being picked by the community to be part of the wishlist, is one of our oldest open tasks, dating 2005: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T3790 And we could invite people who have access to 3D printers to download and print this very first 3D model in memory of Bassel (getting one printed for the office would be nice too!).
