Luca was speaking about Pietro Liuzzo, and Italian researcher based in
London and working for the EAGLE project.
We spoke a lot (just this week) about the state of the project, and I can
just repeat that we have still a long way to convince all the project
partners to release all the material which might be interesting for
Wikimedia projects.
Pietro is a member of Wikimedia Italia as well and wholeheartly shares our
goals and vision, but he's not in charge and he's pushing diplomatically
the project towards a more shared and collaborative approach. Not very easy
with 8 different universities in 8 different countries... As you can
imagine, every academic domain has his own approach toward sharing and open
collaboration, lets say that in Latin and Greek epigraphy they are a bit
closed (i recently discovered that the "papyri" domain is on the other hand
very open... :-)
