Hi Anil, You're right we definitely need to think about getting existing images sorted ---
Perhaps we should think about organising a community barnraising event ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_raising) to help. We'll need to think about how we will do this -- I guess there are many questions, for example: - Do we delete or place a warning of sorts on images where we are not sure of the licensing? - I suspect that we will find many images which are clearly personal photographs that have been uploaded -- can we assume that these are licensed under our default CC-BY-SA license? - Should we initiate community strategies to find free licensed equivalents for images where there are clear copyright contraventions. - Other questions? I'm very chuffed and pleased to see these improvements --- getting better one step at a time :-) Cheers Wayne On 19 March 2010 19:33, aprasad <[email protected]> wrote: > Great work! much needed, now community members may also review the license > position of already uploaded images.
