Modesty may have prevented you from saying that the QR code thing only got moving because you decided to "just do it" and we just did something. The only bit missing maybe is the Wright Challenge but we need to get that moving.

Would love to hear feedback from the museums point of view - what value did they get from it and what might put them off from doing something like this again. Thanks also for your kind words about Wikipedians.<br /><br />Definitely agree about Google Goggles being the best reader - that's on an Android phone.<br /><br />Few typos:<br />"QT code reader" -> "QR code reader"<br />"Never state something you know to be true without being able to improve it" -> "prove it"?<br /><br />Now, your final question: "Why has it taken so long for curators to start dating Wikipedians?"<br /><br />In my opinion, this is an age thing. Wikipedia has only recently grown big enough and good enough quality for these relationships to work. Five years ago the motto was "write what you know" - these days nearly everything most people know is already up there! Hence the specialist knowledge held in places like museums is where the growth is coming from. Likewise, vandalism was a big problem four years ago, but is now pretty much cracked. Mainstream opinion in the media and academia has really turned round in the last couple of years.<br /><br />"this [providing images] won't damage your income streams."<br /><br />One of the key things we need to work out how to do is allow museums to release their images whilst still keeping their income streams. The model used by the German Federal Archives (http://tinyurl.com/3m3t4sp) seems a promising way forward.Andrew Turveyhttp://enwp.org/User:AndrewRTnoreply@blogger.com
