 * Tips 'n Tricks

* Maarten has developed some tools to work with datas and batch uploading.

* Commonist (maybe customized)

* If you don't get the right contacts locally, contact Maarten! For example, make Council of Europe call the institution you want to collaborate with.

* Get introduced in different institutions

* Federal problems can sometimes be tackled by giving power to the locals - let them approach their local institutions

* Statistics are a good way to get people motivated.

* Thank people

* Jury: get them together in real life!

* Get local: locan events can motivate people to participate.

* Free Publicity is useful.

* Use existing communities (Flickr, etc.)

* Contact OSM and Creative Commons

* If you have handwritten or paper lists, you can ask for help at Wikisource (lists are probably PD-gov or something)

* Split up the work so a few people does not have to do all the work. For example:

* Some work on getting the lists of monuments

* Tech people working with data and identifiers

* Some work on arranging the contest

* Helpdesk/hotline for helping people upload pictures on Commons
