  • Collaborations
  • Tools
  • Metrics
• Preparation for GLAM-WIKI 2013
  • Topics, especially non-Wikimedian ones
  • Speakers

Suggestions

• Assessing glamwiki.org and establishing a lead contact for moving forward with updates discussed at GLAMcamp Amsterdam.
• Considering the format of us.glamwiki.org and discussing if any or all portions should be adapted for the WP:GLAM WikiProject space on English Wikipedia. How does this link/replicate/differentiate from glamwiki.org, etc.
• Sharing best practices from the GLAM-Wiki Taskforce established by WM:UK and how lessons learned may be applied to the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium, and other such entities.

The role of GLAM within the models of User Groups and Thematic Organizations.
