[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia DC: Knight Prototype Fund support for the Wiki Art Depiction Explorer project

[Robert Fernandez]

Wikimedia District of Columbia is proud to be the recipient of $50,000 in
support from the Knight Prototype Fund, an initiative of the John S. and
James L. Knight Foundation.   Wikimedia DC will collaborate with the
Smithsonian Institution on a project called the "Wiki Art Depiction
Explorer", an effort to create an interface for museum visitors and other
art enthusiasts to crowdsource metadata about visual depictions in museum
artworks.  Making this data more accurate and robust will allow further and
deeper discovery of these works by anyone in the world.

The project was created by three longtime Wikimedia DC volunteers: Andrew
Lih, author of The Wikipedia Revolution, Effie Kapsalis, Chief of Content &
Communications Strategy at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and Robert
Fernandez, member of the board of directors of Wikimedia DC.   Andrew Lih
is currently in South Africa for Wikimania and looks forward to talking to
other Wikimedia volunteers about this project.

The aim of the Knight Prototype Fund is to support the development of
innovative ideas to use technology to engage people with the arts and
cultural institutions.  The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has
previously supported organizations and projects related to Wikimedia,
including the Wikimedia Foundation.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] HHS Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National Guideline Clearinghouse

[James Hare]

For what it’s worth, the Internet Archive is hard at work preserving the 
guidelines, so at minimum we will have that.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Cheat sheets visual editing on Wikipedia

[Delphine Dallison]

What sort of font did you use on the SVG? If the font isn't available on other 
people's computers, this might be the problem...?

Hi Lodewijk,

That's interesting. I get the same issue as you're reporting when I look at the 
page in Commons. However, when I download and open the sheet, the text 
runaround conforms to the text boxes, but is rendered in a different font.
So there's definitely something wrong in how the SVG is saved from the original 
Illustrator format.

As I'm not an expert in converting images to SVG, is there someone else who 
recognizes this issue and knows how to solve it? Alternatevely, I can make the 
AI files available to someone with more experience in converting them to SVG.

Best,
