On a broader note I would suggest that the UK prioritise longterm
funding streams - payroll giving, and annual direct debits which may
have a lower attrition rate than monthly direct debits. Longer term we
should think about legacies. One of the flaws of the movement's
current fundraising model is the disconnect between our longterm
ambitions and the short term nature of our fundraising. I suspect that
has already become an issue with the GLAM sector. It would be really
cool if in three years time we could say "yes we've only existed for
fourteen years, but even if all else went phut tomorrow we already
have an endowed data centre that could maintain a read only version on
the web for the foreseeable future."
Maybe an issue for your (our) next
Wikimeet?
Also - "Wikimedia Commons" vs "Archives for All" - where should you
lodge copies of your data?
