A really nice initiative from France, is there swiss volunteers to try it with local food speciality?

Indeed a nice approach, to present local or national spezialities to the World :-)

Funny as well, as SOSM focus to promote POI's as e.g. cheese dairies and cheese shops (chocolate to com :-) )

Maybe we can find some synergies in promoting (photo/video/text and where, place, to get) local food spezialities, who knows! :-)

Just my 2 cents...

cheeers, Andreas

Other initiatives have already been done in Austria and Germany around the food question, if you have ideas and need help to implement them, do not hesitate to contact your respective community liaison.

Good news everyone,

Cheese articles are gonna get improved!

As french, it was dreadful for us to see so few illustrations of cheese on Wikipedia. This is about to change.

A group of french Wikimedians, lead by Pierre-Yves Beaudouin, designed a project to photograph many cheeses, up to 200 for the moment.

This project is perticular as we aim to have it found through a french crowdfunding platform, KissKissBankBank.

Of course Wikimedia France could have funded it itself, but we wanted to use the project as a way to get the larger audience aware of their ability to contribute and to give a fun image of contributing.

The project in few words iss follow :

• 10 cheeses per session
• During the session the cheeses are photographed and their articles

improved

• During the sessions experimented wikimedian would train new editors
• At every session every participant would enjoy eating good cheese too

If you want to read more, or even contribute, about the project you can go on KissKissBankBank : http://www.kisskissbankbank.com/fr/projects/wikicheese

If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot them on or off list.

All the best,
