Commons

It is pitty you did not upload the interviews to Commons...

I'm not so sure they're within commons' role. They're not media (graphics, movies, sound), they're text. And they're very specific text about the strategy project. I'm not sure they fit on commons, but I'm willing to be convinced. ;)

I do agree with you, though, that they're incredibly interesting and educational files.

As I think local uploads should be banned completely (besides en.wikipedia fair-use etc.), Commons is the place to do. You never know when you want to use the file within other project. Btw, I think they are highly educative.

I'm looking at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Contributing_your_own_work which says that only media files in particular formats are accepted. I'm not sure this meets the requirements: first because it's not photography, illustration, audio or video, and second because it's in none of the file types that are allowed. :)

I do agree with you, though, that they're incredibly interesting and educational files.

Agreed that these are very educational files!

The other issue about uploading to Commons is that interviewees agreed only to their notes being posted to the strategy site, as opposed to agreeing to post their notes in more public and visible setting.

Okay, this is a reason for not using Commons. Btw, Philippe, PDFs are very fine for Commons, lots of them have been uploaded already.

One more question - shouldnt be the interviews released under free license? Or does this site's license automatically makes that (PDF is a text after all)? Or are citations of (c) text okay? If citations are okay, remixing surely is not... some ideas from the interviews definitelly might be used further.
