Introduction / summary

The Global GLAM-Wiki call featured presentations by Giovanna Fontenelle and Andrew Lih.

She demonstrated the tool's capabilities, including time series of edit counts, page view counts, and ranking of media files. Andrew discussed the GLAM CSI project, highlighting challenges in uploading media files, structured data on Commons, and the need for better metrics and innovative interfaces. The project aims to document user stories and address technical needs through community feedback and collaborative brainstorming sessions.
