I have no experience with this but wonder if anyone has seen wiki-labels or texts?

Hi Susan, I'm not sure what you mean by "wiki-labels or texts"? Could you explain a bit more?

Comment by Susan Ashley on May 29, 2009 at 1:28am

The idea of using a wiki to add depth/context/commentary on a curatorial label within an exhibit. This takes visitor card comments one step further into a digital format at the location of the object or interpretive text.

Hello everyone, I work for National Services Te paerangi at Te Papa in NZ and am interested to learn more about how museums can engage with Wikimedia. I can't make it to the GLAM-WIKI event, but would love to hear from people how it goes

I have to learn more, but this seems like an outstanding idea :)
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
When GLAM are to bring their content to Commons, it is important for the Commons community to be open to including collections of images that some will feel is inappropirate.
Thanks,
GerardM

On my blog I have tried to answer many of Angelina Russo's points...

What I do not know is what a kpi is.. :)
Thanks,
GerardM

Thanks Angelina and Gerard.
I agree that Angelina's questions are big ones, but I certainly came away from GLAM-WIKI energised by the thoughtfulness and willingness of participants to consider new ways of working. It was wonderful to have the power of the volunteer so apparent, and I was particularly glad to have 2 days where kpis (Key Performance Indicators) were not purely about commercial interests and narrow definitions of value.
I have uploaded the slides that represented my thinking pre-GLAM-WIKI with a few suggestions for ongoing action.
