thoughts on plan for public art going forward.

siris and art museum databases are stovepiped, nobody talks. we can be the consolidator, since we are "NPOV".
our lists thusfar, scrubbed from siris, are a slice of database normally sorted by piece name, in table format.
scraping the databases is difficult, since most lack an export function.
most "public art" list articles are in table format. we have some old essay format with example subsection articles, that could be expanded into tables with stand alone art articles.
there are some web 1.0 websites with thumbnails. our lists can include gps making more useful for phone functionality.
the problem with wiki art lists is that the size balloons by the "citation" template, making the upload time too long.
process i've followed = export data into spreadsheet, add wikicode in spreadsheet, upload into wikilist article.
i've put a comprehensive (siris) list in user space, and abreviated list (with images) in article, with note on talk page.
once list article is created, then search for images, either by photo contest, or search flickr, with right license.
break lists into neighborhoods if they get too big.
