Project idea edit
What is the problem you're trying to solve? edit
There a lot of images on commons that could be used in other projects, but languages barriers and lack of awareness prevent this.
What is your solution? edit
Something like global notifications tailored to personal interests regardless of language.
Goals edit
- inspire people to create or translate articles in/to their own language
- add images to articles in languages you don't understand
- motivate people who upload images by using images more
- make people excited to explore images in topic areas they are interessted in
- encourage people with similar interests to collaborate together on-wiki even if they don't speak the same languages
