Comment by Liam Wyatt on November 17, 2009 at2:09pm Thanks for this and I can say that from the Wikipedia
perspective we're very happy to have these images tobe available as this represents Australia's first culturalcontent donation to Wikimedia.
I personally announced this collaboration to theWikimedia Multimedia Usability meeting in Paris lastweek and requests such as better reporting metrics (onusage, click-throughs etc.) is definitely on the agenda.Once again, thanks!
