Hi everyone,
I am pleased to announce the launch of the fourth Inspire Campaign for
IdeaLab, focused on outreach to outside knowledge networks:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire>
There is tremendous potential in cooperative work between Wikimedia
contributors and entities such as libraries (and other GLAM
institutions[1]), cultural centers, content experts, and other sources of
information. Such outreach can lead to rewarding collaborative efforts
that, among many benefits, helps us create and offer better quality content
to readers.
All types of proposals are welcome - research projects, software
development, and naturally for this campaign, community organizing and
outreach. Wikimedia Foundation staff are also invited to advise on ideas
they can offer support and guidance on. Project Grants[2] and Rapid
Grants[3] are available for projects developed during this campaign that
need financial support. For ideas that do not require funding, I am happy
to provide general guidance on projects on how to bring your idea to
action. The campaign runs until 28 February.
If you're interested in doing some outreach work to an institution,
organization, or group in your area, or want to help with an existing
outreach project, I encourage you to check out the submissions of this
campaign!
With thanks,
Jethro
