remember that as soon as the organisation "endorses" any person
to contribute content to the projects, it puts itself in a "publisher"
kind of position, which we need to avoid at all costs, since the
organisation is *not* a publisher.
Would it be possible for the WMF to make a deal with an actual
publisher? They could, say, give us a press pass in return for us
giving them a free license to use the photographs. The St. Petersburg
Times is run by a non-profit and is right down the street. Maybe
they'd be willing to hook up the WMF with a press pass to use for
events they weren't sending anyone to anyway?
Just a thought. I don't know much about how these things work.
That's a pretty good idea, actually. We find the publisher a volunteer
who we know is a decent person - just the sort of job for our shiny
new Volunteer Coordinator - the volunteer agrees with the publisher
that the material will be freely licensed*, the publisher issues
accreditation and lets the material flow in (and out).
