[OpenGLAM] Fwd: Smithsonian data available for National Day of Civic Hacking!

[Sarah Stierch]

I suggest we avoid a "wiki" to display it though.

I would rather see a nice easily discoverable non-wiki webpage.

I thought we already had a page for this via openglam? Or perhaps I am just that out of it due to having been out of the scene for a year :)
