Nowadays, when people think of the Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH), many of them think primarily of the recent decisions made there regarding the repetition of the presidential elections. But to us in the Wikiverse, the VfGH continues to be above all a place for pioneers of thought who wish to communicate their work - that is so important to our society - to a broader public in a contemporary way. Dr. Josef Pauser has therefore adapted the Wikipedian in Residence model, so far practised only by classic memory institutions (museums, archives, etc.), to his organisation. As a result, the Austrian Wikipedian and prospective lawyer, Thomas Planinger, spent two months at the VfGH - imparting his expertise on free knowledge there and then sharing his experience and resources regarding the VfGH in the Wikipedia community. | Nowadays, when people think of the Austrian Constitutional Court (VfGH), many of them think primarily of the recent decisions made there regarding the repetition of the presidential elections.

:It was very impressive to experience that Thomas Planinger, our Wikipedian in Residence, turned out to be someone who "burns" for Wikipedia in the true sense of the word. In our project I even had to slow him down sometimes to make sure we stuck with achievable goals for our initially brief project period. | :It was very impressive to experience that Thomas Planinger, our Wikipedian in Residence, turned out to be someone who "burns" for Wikipedia in the true sense of the word.

Oddly enough, the project itself sort of emerged from nowhere and without knowing it, it was actually Thomas Planinger himself who initiated it. While I was already familiar with the idea of a "Wikipedian in Residence" from the library and archive sector, at first, translating that idea to a high court was not on my radar at all. As a student of commercial law at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, our colleague, Mr. Planinger, had been on a tour of our building in 2014, and being a Wikipedian he immediately investigated whether our Justices had a Wikipedia entry. Since this was not the case for all of them, he made it his business to close that gap, which he announced via Twitter and hashtag #vfgh once the task was completed. | :Oddly enough, the project itself sort of emerged from nowhere and without knowing it, it was actually Thomas Planinger himself who initiated it.

:At the time, I happened to read that Tweet and take favourable notice. At the beginning of this year, I had a question related to Wikipedia, I remembered that tweet and was able to send the author an e-mail via Wikipedia. During a personal meeting, the idea of having a Wikipedian in Residence at the Federal Constitutional Court developed quite spontaneously and almost instinctively, and was immediately supported by the Administrative Director of the VfGH. And now, close to the end of the second project month, we can already say that this was a great project, that absolutely ... but go ahead and read the next question for this. | :At the time, I happened to read that Tweet and take favourable notice.
