Wikimedia: Conference seeks open cultural content
,----[ Quote ]
| In a world-first conference, the Wikimedia Australia community will this week
| sit down with more than 170 senior executives from the nationâs largest
| cultural institutions â from the National Gallery to the Parliamentary
| Library â to devise strategies to better share Australia's cultural heritage.
|
| Called âGLAM-WIKI: Finding Common Ground,â the event at the Australian War
| Memorial in Canberra on August 6-7 brings together Galleries, Libraries,
| Archives, Museums (GLAM) with Wikimedia Australia, the all-volunteer force
| that brings Australian content to the Wikipedia site.

| Council in ways that they want - allowing you to remix, mashup and share data
| easily. Here's a list of what we provide so far, this list is not exhaustive,
| and we'll be adding more and more datasets as time progresses...

The pedia phenomenon
,----[ Qoute ]
| I have decided most critics of Wikipedia miss the point.
|
| They focus on the wiki aspect, the idea that many contributors can offer
| their input, and the chance that some of that input is wrong.
