Dear Wikimedians,

This is a (belated) announcement that requests are now being taken for illustrations to be created for the Philip Greenspun illustration project (PGIP).

The aim of the project is to create and improve illustrations on Wikimedia projects. You can help by identifying which important articles or concepts are missing illustrations (diagrams) that could make them a lot easier to understand. Requests should be made on this page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Philip_Greenspun_illustration_project/Requests

If there's a topic area you know a lot about or are involved with as a Wikiproject, why not conduct a review to see which illustrations are missing and needed for that topic? Existing content can be checked by using Mayflower to search Wikimedia Commons:

http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/mayflower/

or use the Free Image Search Tool to quickly check for images of a given topic in other-language projects:

http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/fist.php

The community suggestions will be used to shape the final list, which will be finalised to 50 specific requests for Round 1, due to start in January. People will be able to make suggestions for the duration of the project, not just in the lead-up to Round 1.

General information about the project: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Philip_Greenspun_illustration_project
Potential illustrators and others interested in the project should join the mailing list: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/greenspun-illustrations

Please pass this message on to any Wikimedia community that might find it relevant.

thanks,
Brianna
