I made it clear in the conversations on the 17th that I saw no sign of
the WMUK Board wanting to dominate or set the agenda for UK WLM; like
the rest of us they are hoping a champion will emerge.
I've posted the following at the discussion page
<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_brainstorm> for
the WLM event, and suggest that discussion is continued there:
Following on from coversations at the Jan 17 events, mentioned on the UK
mailing list, there seemed to be considerable agreement that, apart from
the general aim of recruiting people etc, the most useful actual photos
might well be in specialized areas where we were weak, as opposed to
general "old buildings" where we are mostly very strong. Such
specialized requirements could be encouraged by special classes with
their own prizes. Those mentioned, as I recall, were:
*War memorials
*Wrecks (there are "Scheduled wrecks")
*Church furnishings
*Side of a building murals
Please add any other thoughts above or below.
