Hi Liam, pleased to see that others agree on you being a fine fellow.
Congratulations.
There are some pics in this category which show the cutting out, the
mounting, some example locations of the codes and a lady using her phone to
access stuff about geology. I'm going to be busy this weekend on o

Got any pictures of the installation processes or labels in-situ? This deserves
a mention in the Signpost and if you could also add it to the "this month in
GLAM" report for Feb that's being compiled here

Agreed with Roger too, if we could
I'm thoroughly impressed that we went from my vague mention of QR
codes to a live public exhibition within 3 days. Victuallers, you
deserve a great big "Making things happen" barn star.
Cheers,

Tom, * Update at Derby*
Terence's blog looks very useful.
If anyone is in travelling distance of Derby main museum then there are now
some demo QR codes in their geology and natural history section. Comments
welcomed. Bravely they agreed to "just do it". Help from Fae and JamesB
enabled
I told a mate of mine, Terence Eden, a mobile technologist who writes
frequently on his blog about how to do QR codes properly, about this
thread.
He's put up a post on his blog with some advice that could help
Wikimedia do QR codes properly.

Geni, looks useful. It may be premature but being as nobody has stopped me
(yet) I'm moving quickly. Do you fancy moving your page to main space?
and maybe even customising it?
I'm thinking that maybe I will soon have a demo section in Derby Museums
working - I'm going there in next few hours

That's absolutely amazing. :-) Really nice work.
Is there an open source QR code generator that could be used, rather than using
Google or Kaywa? If there is, then that makes it a lot easier to persuade the
community to adopt this as standard.
Roger: it's also fantastic that Derby Museums will
I have updated the template {{QR code}} which should make it easy to
include a QR link on any Wikipedia talk page and avoid installing
scripts.

I have an email from Nick Moyes who is very enthuiasrtic and suggests we can
sticker part of the museum this weekend with QR Codes. I think this would be
a nice demonstration of what we can do. Fae, I have tried to install your
script. Could you look and see if it installed OK? I have several dozen
My God you are smart Fæ
Next prize is for the first person to show a museum sign with a sticker that
was made from this script. Photo that shows another mobile phone with the
coreect article wins the king of kudos award
BRILLIANT!
Which Museum or gallery will it be?

Sorry to be a smart-pants but I just cobbled a userscript to add the
QR code generation as a Wikipedia toolbox function. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fæ/QRcode.js
In the usual way add:
importScript('User:Fæ/QRcode.js'); //QRcode on toolbar
to your vector.js or other preferred skin file.
Interesting idea. Might be better branded as 'print a QR code linking to this
page', which might be more generally useful. Similar to the permanent link
option currently available.

If we could arrange for these 2D QR Bar codes to be easily printed from GLAM
pages then "enterprising" visitors might add a little sticker to GLAM

Don't Leave Space To The Professi
There are some museums that are already taking advantage of Wikipedia's
content. Last weekend, I was at Fort Perch Rock [1], which is a small naval/RAF
museum near Liverpool. The style of some of the content pinned to the wall was
easily recognisable - it was straight from Wikipedia. E.g. the co
WRT QR codes: I brought this up when chatting with the British
Library. If it were part of a temporary exhibition (the BL has a funky
new-media room in the foyer area, for example) then a demo using QR
codes and a free smart phone app(*) would be an easy thing to show off
and less controversial tha
I have always thought the most likely organization to be willing to let us put
our texts on their walls (via a QR code most likely) would in actual fact be
zoos. Think about it! :-)
But, for fine arts galleries or major museums the process and policies of label
writing is a very complex thing.

This is an excelent idea - of course if we mounted a bar code as well and
they had wi fi or internet phone carrying customers then we could use Google
Goggles and supply it in different languages
I tried suggesting this at one museum and I got the impression that they

I was recently in the Portsmouth natural history museum (or as the
natives call it Cumberland House). When I was there I saw this:
