I thought so too :-) It's certainly an example we can follow or at least discuss.
BTW, I signed up only after talking to Jake and hearing why he was going for a library user group, before there's a GLAM one. He explained and I got convinced. What's important is that we are working on a similar GLAM user group proposal. WikiProject Med is already a user group, so is WikiWomen, so with EDUWiki possibly joining in as a user group, outreach will be covered and better represented in our movememt. These groups should of course work together, how exactly still needs to be determined. But there's a long way before we get to that particular discussion. In the meantime, I thought a bit of a "zoom out" view would benefit those who weren't in Berlin, in preparation for today's discussion. Shani.
