I'm working on rewriting this page...

Proposal

The problem

GLAMs that wish to work with Wikimedia often have common questions/problems yet there is no easily findable, tailored documentation to

The proposed solution

To create a documentation series answering common GLAM questions (written by the Wikimedia experts) with accompanying case studies (written by a GLAM that has addressed that problem) and to publish these as individual fact sheets and also as a grouped set for viewing online or easy printing. The documentation series would have three sections that closely interrelate:

The principles (e.g. "Why Wikimedia does not allow content with a Non-Commercial license")
The practice (e.g. "How to upload a large collection of multimedia files")
The example (e.g. Case study from a GLAM that did this and what outcomes it achieved)

Outcome

Best case outcome is if GLAMs feel comfortable enough to undertake their own successful projects on-Wiki by themselves.
Desired outcome is if GLAM/Ambassadors can provide relevant, clear and detailed answers to questions from potential GLAM partners that satisfy both front-line and management level concerns.
The individual pages can be listed online like the CC edition http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Casestudies or collated to form a "2011 GLAM-Wikimedia book" equivalent to http://creativecommons.org.au/learn-more/publications/casestudiesvol1

The Book!

Licensing
- Why freely licensed?
- Why not non-commercial?
- Why not non-derivative?
- Moral rights
- Wikimedia's stance on copyright in faithful reproductions (i.e. w:bridgeman v. corel)
