Make list international? #42
Comments
That site has a strong focus on libraries from the English speaking world. IMHO a collection with a European focus would be nice, so why not open it for the British Library (they still are European, aren't they)? |
I like the european argument (esp. concerning Britain ;-). So let's do it. I guess we should introduce 'national' sections, at least for institutions? And language of README should be english. |
Oh, and we might need another name. The acronym 'BibsOnGithub' is strange anyways ;-) |
|
Why? No, it's a very nice name, and I don't expect problems as "Bib" is Greek (so it fits to Europe). When I look at Wikidata, I see more countries using the Greek form than the Latin one. You might add that explanation to the |
Please add @NatLibFi |
@osma, do you have a suggestion how the list should be organized? By country? Or flat (with a country indicator)? |
Well I don't have an exact use case in mind, you probably know the requirements better. By country would make sense to me, but do as you like. |
since some requests from non german countries came in it seems to make sense to broaden the list's scope. README.md in english.
I've added @NatLibFi, @britishlibrary, and @BL-Labs. List is now open for libraries and library developers from any country (mainly from Europe, I guess). README.md is quick'n'dirty translated, please improve or complete. I've not added any additional sections for international entries. After all, we are all Europeans, aren't we ;-) Guess this should work for now (keep it simple), later on we might think about an improved data structure. If no one protests I'll close this issue. |
Can we close this issue? |
Should we open the list for international libraries? This tweet suggests to add the British Library: https://twitter.com/ndalyrose/status/819490433147531264
Any objections? Guess it would make sense, although there's already https://wiki.code4lib.org/Libraries_Sharing_Code
