[Wiki Loves Monuments] Thinking about the future

[Ganesh Paudel]

Hi Beat and all,
Conducting Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Public Art are good to start.

We have many media in the commons especially photographs unused in any
project.
Wiki-RIC concept is to have a photo campaign for meaningful use. That's why
it is considered important and rated highest in the conference.
Let's think this aspect of Wiki RIC positively.

Best,

Ganesh K. Paudel
