This page contains the organizational timeline for Wiki Loves Public Art 2013. Feel free to use and and consult it if you so please.
The timeline is supposed to be mainly an advise, especially when it comes to local organization: you can choose to do things differently, and if you want to start working on some things earlier or to prepare your own timeline, you are very welcome to do so! Not everything on the timeline has to be done. The dates are only suggestive, and often not meant to be that specific, unless marked in bold. You can make a local copy of the timeline, and adapt it at your wishes.
