About Wiki Loves Calligraphy
[edit]Wikimedia Loves Calligraphy is a project which aims at creating free calligraphy usable within Wikimedia projects and beyond around important themes decided by the community.
Background
[edit]The idea came from looking at Haytham Abulela ALY profile which exhibits a wonderful calligraphy of its own name as realised by the Dubai-based calligrapher and graphic artist Nihad Nadam. The latter offers on request to write non-Arabic first names in Arabic letters for free. From there the idea quickly araised to launch a project aiming at adding more calligraphic artworks on Commons with terms such as "free culture", or "wikimedia".
Roadmap
[edit]- establish and complete roadmap along the road
- communicate around the project idea, gather feedback, assimilate it in the goals
- establish clearer goals: how many and which terms should be aimed at, budget, deadline…
- Maybe the list of terms could be derived from list of vital articles
- communicate around the results, actively support reuse within Wikimedia projects
