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…
  • communicate around the results, actively support reuse within Wikimedia projects
