Re: [Wikimediauk-l] What next with QRpedia?

2013-12-19 Thread Roger Bamkin
Just to clarify - freopedia are taking no notice of not using the
WikipediA word art. As per recent discussions in this thread. (I did nt
want to imply that they were taking no notice generally!)

They are using the word art on their Freopedia labels. Note Freopedia I
think is now the largest Wikitown in that it has more QRpedia tags than say
Joburg or Prague. It also has it own Wiki article recently and announced
another project at Toodyay in WA.

(Prague uses the wiki logo whereas Joburgpedia doesnt mention that it links
to Wikipedia!)

So shout out for Freopedia (and other wikitowns!) as they move across to
WMUK support.

 Fae wrote some code that added a print qrpedia code choice that works on
 all the wikipedias. Museums et Al could cope with this.

 Getting this on the welsh wikipedia...as an experiment would show others
 what could be done. Catalan would also like to do it.

 A competition to design a code that was recognisable as a qrpedia code ...
 And not just a link to marketing BUMPH would be good. Note that freopedia
 are taking no notice and using wiki word art.

 We are now dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's on QRpedia. The next
 question is how do we make sure the community benefits from it?



 The domain transfer as so far taken 25 days. Given the history here is
 might be wiser to wait until said 'i's and 't's are dealt with before
 moving forward.
