This proposal is potentially something that Museums Australia (the peak body for museums -small and large) might be willing to help out with in some fashion. They attended GLAMWIKI in Canberra and made it clear to me afterwards that they saw the most benefit/interest in working with Wikimedia in regional and small organisations that don't have an in-house web department or social media strategy. So, they could potentially help promote/support such events as this is a good synergy for their oft-forgotten regional members.
