It's sad, in some ways: institutions always want another institution to talk to, so we who collaborate autonomously get left out of the loop.<br /><br />That's what I, as a Wikipedian in Montreal, have been waiting for. Once there's some institutional backbone, people can go places and say "Hi, I represent Wikimedia Canada. We want to work with you." Somehow it seems more serious than "Hi, I spend some time editing Wikipedia. Invest your institutional time on my interests!" :/<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm not the sort of thing I'm good at (or have the time for).nihiltreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079913991767893265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12886811.post-14322535212380524172009-09-03T15:17:11.155-07:002009-09-03T15:17:11.155-07:00The Dutch, German, and Australian chapters are rea...The Dutch, German, and Australian chapters are really the leaders in this area.
