Notes de l'éditeur
A1 Hello etc. This talk is called ..... We think it should be called “transforming a city from a museum” We are going to talk about technology because that's what we use. However the job of Wikimedia UK is part of a global movement to
B2
C3 Wikimedia and our most famous project (Wikipedia) is full of big numbers. 3.7m articles in English, over 100 languages, over 10 m articles. Possibly the most amazing is that we have over 400 million different people visit our site every month. We are in the top ten web sites in the World .... And we are free!
L12 Actually Derby museum’s article was unusually large before we started. In reality it not such a grand museum as Bristol's main museum or the M Shed but in cyberspace on Wikipedia it probably scored 6/10 for a museum
q17
M13
P16 Steve thinks we need more explanation of how QRpedia works
P16 supplemental You find a QR code in this case one for Derby Museum, you click on it with in this case a phone set to operate in Japanese and because of this Qrpedia displays not the English page, not a translation, but an article about this museum written by someone in Japan.

Google uses the number of links to decide how important a page is. On non-English Wiki s-best UK museum will not be National Museum of Wales Optimisation is done using links. Derby Museum=1200
