... was looking for open source, easy to use, wiki museum and library indexing software for a small museum and archive, which software would also interface with other online libraries and museum software the other day (and which is Creative Commons' licensed and in all languages) ...


Something like this, so wiki, but for display of collection, and in all languages, (and where indexing of collection might articulate with all collections in all museums/libraries):

Could WUaS eventually write and create this, partly as wiki, and include nice display and design features of museum and archived objects (Google Art Project plus - https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/project/art-project or DPLA - http://dp.la/?), and meet developing online standards, and for all languages and countries (which WUaS may further define)?

And focus on the small historical society / museum ...

I found these resources online yesterday for this ...

O for good, well coded (like Google does), free, open CC museum collection software, and in all languages, and possibly inter-indexed in all of them too.
