Yes, it's pretty old. > Are European Wikimedia chapters working on this with Europeana? Somehow. They worked on it with COMMUNIA (led by NEXA Center for Internet & Society at Politecnico di Torino), a friend organization which made several initiatives such as the Public Domain Manifesto (you can see several chapters on http://publicdomainmanifesto.org/node/8/signatures ) and the http://publicdomainday.org/ which was celebrated by some chapters (I remember Italy and Poland).
