The Wikidocumentaries project is planning to create a wiki that will have articles about microhistory - places and people. The article topics will be created based on entries in Wikidata, and the content will be mashed up from content in Wikimedia projects and other open repositories. The content would be enriched with additional, more personal material that is not suited for Wikimedia projects. Whenever suitable, the wiki would also work the other way, providing data and content to Wikimedia projects.
The wiki itself is going to be a hub for citizen history, offering tools to work with documents (transcription, identification, georeferencing etc) and user generated remixes (storymaps, slideshows etc.). I am willing to open this idea for discussion and ask your advice. I would like to know if you have experiences with Semantic MediaWiki to evaluate if it is suitable for being the database for indexing linked content, or how would Wikibase play out. The project is being prepared by a small working group and a group of Finnish project partners. There's not much to link to yet, but I will be happy to tell as much more as is possible. Best, Susanna Ånäs
