- STRUCTURED WIKIDATA: Wikidata training on first days, and hackathon
- Wikidata infoboxes -- used more outside English, but usable on English -- Illustration of such an infobox
- Relatedly: data on Wikimedia Commons under development, analogous to a museum's curation of online files
- LIBRARY/ARCHIVES: Visited real-world libraries and archives
- At Ohio's state archives, saw weekly maps of Europe from U.S. military in WWII, vast rows of records
- at central Columbus public library, saw large scale precise scanners for digitizing documents of many kinds

- COPYRIGHT: John Mark Ockerbloom on U of Penn project identifying works out of copyright
- Almost all works before 1923 are free of copyright in the U.S.; starting in January 2019, more materials will be copyright-free (from 1923 I think); their project covers many magazine/journal works up to 1960s whose copyrights were not renewed
- Other topics
- Possible training for Wikimedia admins
