It's rare that a participatory museum project is more than a one-shot affair. It started with a request from a group of New York Wikimedians to the Brooklyn Museum.

The NAS publishes one such report every business day, and apparently these reports are seen as a gold standard of objective, well-researched content on a range of industries and issues.
