Hi all;
Just like the scripts to preserve wikis[1], I'm working in a new script to
download all Wikimedia Commons images packed by day. But I have limited
spare time. Sad that volunteers have to do this without any help from
Wikimedia Foundation.
I started too an effort in meta: (with low

That reminds me of something O:-)
Perhaps something like this?

We already have a policy covering data preservation and recovery under
any foreseeable disaster scenarios:

Hi,
As a follow-up to my original question, my brief presentation today at
the all day Wellcome Trust research images workshop went down well and
everyone was happy to see in perpetuity as a commitment. Thanks for
the comments made in this thread, they did influence the nature of my
discussions.
Hoi,
It is the explicit goal of the Wikimedia Foundation to make information
available for as long as it exist. In addition to this, there are several
copies at the Internet Archive.
If there is no statement that satisfies your need, it will not be hard for
the WMF board to come up with one.
Hello Fae,
There should be no explicit statement because the WMF holds it
self-evident to preserve. The bigger problem might be the project
scope. I don't know what kind of images your academic partners wishes
to upload.
Kind regards
Ziko

There are two caveats: nobody can tell the future of human cultural
history or any individual legal organization, and while the repository and
wikis as a whole, and virtually all legally hostable media of genuine value,
are preserved indefinitely, obviously no guarantee can be given concerning

Actually, that is the benefit of giving Commons access to archives of
images. Access by Commons under its license conventions gives access to
everyone and results in all interesting images going viral.
There are images of little or no

Thanks Phoebe, for my presentation I'll highlight long term
preservation in perpetuity as the key point of interest and reflect
some of the other issues raised on this thread about the suitability
for certain types of donation.
