Hi Leigh, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvHbaGUCSbP9dGppX1dhOWxka1I5MTdhMEJHcU9ILUE&usp=sharing (it's also a long way down in your threaded reply)
Thanks for pitching in people. Gnangarra, I think it might be worth splitting the FreoSociety image donation from the editathon into a separate GLAM content donation if it's an ongoing thing. I guess that will carry even more weight.
