Learnings
[edit]Good sides
[edit]- Coordination and collaboration: The project has collaborated with BCN and Nepalese in Photography- A Group of Professional Photographers in Nepal.
- Participation of professional photographers: The event attracted a good number of professional photographers to participate in it. So this project has formed an enthusiastic team of photographers who are willing to contribute to Wikimedia Commons.
Bad sides
[edit]- Less Participation from Community: We put a proposal on Nepali Wikipedia Vilagepump regarding call for participation in the event but only few among nepali wikipedian showed interest on it.
