Working page for the yearbook of 2011 for the Nordic chapters

Introduction

Project goal: Create a Wikimedia yearbook based on the anual reports 2011 to collect outcomes and best practices in the Nordic countries.

The Nordic leaflet / report should contain a number of "good projects" from each country. There should be at least one responsible in each chapter.

The publication should be issued in the english language.

Target group: Decision-makers, funding entities and authorities, sponsors and officials of GLAM institutions, educational institutions, public entities, content companies, etc.

Rationale: Motivate through best practice. Utilize best practice projects and chapter activities to get buy-in among key target groups. Show that we have the capacity to drive projects. Explain the unique capacities of Wikimedia chapters versus other potential partners (i.e, Wikipedia).

Regularity: Approximately every two years.

Title: Working with Wikimedia in Scandinavia

The yearbook should tell a thorough story through the examples, focusing on the potentials for cross-country / interwiki distribution of cultural content and heritage. Stick to much photos, less text than the German report (Tätigkeitsbericht 2011). Keep it closer to the WMF report with more photos and good graphics. If possible keep it to 12 pages, A4.

We should have a text by end-June. Layout preparations in advance, texts fitted to layout. Printing in early July.
