We can discuss and arrange the best way to do that. I would only put the accent in one point of the initiative which is connected with the ISOS or other important archives. This initiative could document, for example, important sites with a wiki system with a continue update and continue increasing number of photos. In any case your comment is helpful but why you don't participate? Any decision is not definitively taken, I think that the current state of the project it's only a draft. You can continue to contribute to setup a good final version of the project. Ilario Dear Beda, I wouldn't be able to express myself better than Ilario did... Particularly the request for your participation ! Actually, one idea that came to my mind reading your valuable comment would be to organize this operation as a contest : photographs to register and choose some of the goods and, at the end of the period (maybe 2-3 months), the board (or a determined jury) to select they favorite 12-13 pictures to be granted with a prize. We could as well print a calendar with those pictures as memory. What do you think about it ? the contest idea sounds really nice. is http://www.geograph.org.uk also something which should be included in the discussion? it gains track in other countries as well, like germany: http://geo.hlipp.de/. btw, wolf ludwig is currently trying to organize a visit of liam wyatt, now wikimedia foundations ambassador for glam (galleries, libraries, archives and monuments). of course he would be keen to meet as many wikipedians as possible, so we could try to schedule something. probable dates include friday 18.3 until monday 21.3. what do you think of a wikipedians evening or stammtisch in zürich or bern that date? rupert. ___ http://wikimedia.ch Wikimedia CH website Wikimediach-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l

Re: [Wikimediach-l] Subvention
I'll work with Nicolas for create a first proposal about Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National significance, ISOS sites, etc People are interested in working with us?

We can provide a record until March 20. I think that it can be a great opportunity to work with federal office. it is also a way, for us, to speak about freecontents. About Swiss culture and photographs, I see two main areas of work: * release of existing content: archives of old newspapers, archives of old Swiss companies, etc. ; * creation of new content about the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National significance, ISOS sites, etc. Are people interested in this project? Do you have any suggestions? Ludovic I fully support this idea and mainly the project of creating content for the Swiss Inventory of Cultural Property of National significance. I'm extremely bad in taking pictures, but I can help in the preparation of the project, as well as in the follow-up and the tracking during execution of it.
