I have this thought that WMUK should host a "UK sites" wiki, organised around physical "sites of cultural significance" in the UK. I had in mind "meta for WLM", in other words a coordination wiki across all the projects for material that can be tied in to the monument concept, and allowing discussion of/participation by relevant institutions. E.g. if there is a need to contact local authorities, a place to house what results, and to point to. The way discussion is going, expanding the scope to allow for GLAM activity that ties into any given site looks like a good idea. "Stakeholder in the development of heritage and educational resources" is pretty much what was at the back of my mind. Charles
