It would be easy for the Louvre webteam to play with #WordPress & #Tainacan. Once installed the plugin can fastly import collections from different sources, organize the metadata, and pull out amazing different web presentations with WordPress templates adapted to Tainacan. The new Fediverse #curation feature opens the possibility to select directly from the collection and build threads for scheduled publishing on the Fediverse, like that:

Sim, vamos conversar!
Nos últimos 10 anos, o Projeto #Tainacan demonstrou como #softwarelivre e #políticaspúblicas podem fortalecer o acesso à cultura. O que começou como ferramenta de publicação para #coleçõesdigitais hoje é infraestrutura para a cultura digital aberta na América Latina. Como plug-in WordPress, ampliou o acesso de instituições com poucos recursos—e agora atrai projetos com funcionalidades inovadoras: a gestão de acervos digitais no Fediverso.

Hi @_elena! And thanks to @lxo for the link.
As you can imagine, it all starts with #freesoftware, and in our case, #publicpolicy. #Tainacan began as a tool for publishing #digitalcollections and, over 10 years, became part of Latin America’s open cultural digital infrastructure. As a #WordPress plugin, it helped low-budget institutions adopt it easily—and now it’s attracting larger #museums too. Our current focus is bringing digital collections into #theFediverse.

Here I want to mention one last development of Ibram’s experiments with the Fediverse, which emerged as a very interesting opportunity. The great challenge is how to guide the transition from the centralized, proprietary environment to the decentralized environment, which establishes distributed responsibilities and an expanded role for institutions that promote access to knowledge. In the last 2 years, we have conducted some experiments, and recently we have been in contact with Michael Foster from the NewsMast Foundation. It is an organization dedicated to developing the WebSocial, offering the possibility of creating community apps for organizations interested in exploring the Fediverse. The app works integrated with WordPress and promotes community engagement based on a Mastodon instance. In other words, through the partnership with the NewsMast Foundation, Ibram plans to boost the strategy of occupying the Fediverse by Brazilian museums. Michael Foster, who is part of the project, often says that the Fediverse is an environment determined by technology, where everything starts with a server or even a protocol. However, this is not the case for people in general or communities in general. For communities and people, especially in Brazil, social spaces start with an app.
