London Loves Wikipedia

Outline

Along the lines of the Wikipedia Loves Art project, in February 2010, bring together eight museums which will have one event one each weekend day in February. The V&A and the London Transport Museum have expressed an interest in being involved.

Benefits

It benefits the projects - especially Wikipedia - as it generates photos that can be used.

Financial requirements

Not much - prizes Could be sponsored as per Wikipedia Loves Art

Volunteering

Organisers (two? - one Board, one non-Board? User:AndrewRT was original proposer.) Participants to take photos, process, upload, use (as many as possible)

Discussion

We could try to generalise things a bit more - e.g. go a bit more sciency and get the Science Museum and/or Natural History Museum involved, or have an additional focus on architecture. Mike Peel 22:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
