To expand Timelab's technical know-how and ensure high-quality work, I believe it is crucial to organize workshops dedicated to various projects within the Wikimedia galaxy. I have had the opportunity to work on similar projects, such as those involving GLAM institutions and schools, both over a weekend and even within a single day, achieving significant results. I am convinced that, within a period of three months, we can accomplish extraordinary work by thoroughly delving into every aspect of each project.

Personally, I prefer an action-based learning-by-doing approach. This method allows participants to immediately put into practice what they are learning, enabling them to experience firsthand the aspects they will be working with. Such an approach is preferable to purely frontal teaching.

In addition to the technical aspects of writing and content utilization, it is essential for the Timelab team to be aware of every aspect related to free culture and copyright. The training should not only target internal staff but also actively involve interested citizens. We could organize public events to encourage participation, such as an informative day where we succinctly explain the functioning of Timelab, Wikipedia, and how to contribute to these projects.

It is also beneficial for each team member to write and contribute to Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects on topics they are knowledgeable and passionate about. Timelab's library can serve as an excellent source of inspiration for improving numerous articles on Wikipedia.

Furthermore, thanks to the diverse backgrounds of our team members, we can easily work on translations, making the produced or existing content accessible to a wider international audience.

To establish structured collaborations with local communities, it is crucial to form partnerships with institutions. Based on my experience in Italy, I have successfully collaborated with municipalities, which have shown great enthusiasm for participating by providing spaces and collaborating to promote the city through initiatives like "Wiki Loves Monuments."

Another significant aspect for strengthening collaboration with local communities is organizing editathons, events where experienced Wikipedians, subject matter specialists, and other individuals interested in the wiki world come together to actively contribute to content creation and improvement. I believe it is possible to organize at least two open-to-the-public editathons within a three-month period, involving public institutions and other associations. This will create a collaborative and stimulating environment where the value of "wikilove," the love for the Wikipedia project, can be shared and transmitted to all participants.

The most challenging aspect of making the work sustainable over time is perhaps the task of instilling a passion for Wikipedia, so that individuals who engage with the project do not discontinue their involvement once their tenure as a Wikipedian in Residence (WIR) comes to an end, but instead, they have the desire to continue and deepen their knowledge of this remarkable realm.

To achieve this objective, it is crucial that the work remains stimulating and captivating, capable of producing tangible results that fuel the motivation to carry on. Additionally, fostering excellent teamwork is another means of promoting sustainability. Typically, on Wikipedia, each person writes individually from their own space, but when there is an opportunity, such as in this case, to work side by side, it becomes important to collaborate in person and offer mutual support, thereby conveying what is known as wikilove, the affection for the Wikipedia project.

For the project to be sustainable externally, it is crucial for it to be sustainable internally within Timelab. Only then can we continue to organize and collaborate effectively with other local stakeholders, independent of the Wikipedian in Residence (WIR).
