"following from the" seems to be orphaned at the bottom of one of the sections, I wonder if something has been missed here? The Land (talk) 11:41, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

That does seem to dangle so I've removed it. It was in the application forwarded to me as seen here. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 11:56, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Clarity

There is a lot written here, though I am left a bit unclear about what on this list of stuff the £2,000 worth of project developer would be doing. This would not be many paid days of work, so my assumption is that only a small sub-set of deliverables would be paid for by this grant. Perhaps a much shorter executive summary would help, along with the sub-list of outcomes the project developer would be using their paid time to produce? Thanks --Fæ (talk) 13:06, 20 May 2013 (UTC)


Apologies if the application didn't make this clearer. The £2,000 from Wikimedia would be matched by an equal amount from FreeBMD and staff time from OKFN OpenGLAM. It would be very difficult to separate what exact deliverables would be funded by each organisation. A lot of the work will involve liaising with partners to gather information.
The key outcomes for the seed stage co-funded by Wikimedia would be:
  1. Convert concept into a complete project plan.
  2. Turn plan into funding applications.
  3. Identify three likely funders and start application process (or leave ready to start)
Some important subtasks besides basic project development:
  • Formalise a steering group. Engage with existing communities, such as GLAMwiki and OpenGLAM.
  • Selection of two medium size partners: archive/library and gallery/museum.
  • Scope solutions for key steps (imaging, data, storge, transcription, etc.)
  • Define role for Wikimedia in the project. Commons to be used as repository. But also consider involvement of wider community, liking up with existing GLAM partnerships, etc.
  • Prepare communications plan for next stage. Promote and support blogging by project partners.
