Hi Maarten,

if you want to publish the Manifesto as an example for what can be done
with Public Domain materials, be my guest :-)

>> Hi everyone,
>>
>> Last Friday I posted a new blog on the Europeana site about the largest
>> digitisation project the Netherlands has ever seen. Beelden voor de
>> Toekomst (Images for the Future) was a 7 year project to digitise hours of
>> audiovisual material and millions of photographs. In March, the closing
>> event was held at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
>>
>> In these 7 years some great work has been done. Loads of material was
>> digitised and made available to the public. The great Open Images
>> <http://openbeelden.nl/> platform is a direct outcome of this project.
>> Also a number of smaller and quick projects where batches of content were
>> opened up resulted in great succes.
>>
>> But of course not everything went super smooth. In particular (surprise)
>> copyright turned out to be big blocker, but also the project struggled
>> greatly with making money out of digitised heritage.
>>
>> The final report of the project is only on Dutch (right Johan?), so I
>> have tried to summarise the main outcomes and lessons learned in this
>> blogpost:
>>
>>
>> http://pro.europeana.eu/blogpost/images-for-the-future-lessons-learned-from-7-years-of-digitisati
>>
>> I think anybody who is thinking about or working on a digitisation
>> project should have a look at Images for the Future to learn from.
>>
>> Cheers,
>>
>> Joris
