[Wiki Loves Monuments] New Program Evaluation report: Wiki Loves Monuments

[rupert THURNER]

thanks for this report. and asaf, very true, this is quite impressing and a
pleasure to see. even if i would love to see how you calculated this :)
more strange to my ears is that 20'000 images would be used on the sites,
presented without a reference. lianna, where did you get that number from?

rupert.
