Hi, Marcel. James and I have spoken about this a lot. The current situation on my end looks like this: # There are significant problems in how UploadWizard is structured. # Those problems make it difficult, if not impossible, to use the UW code as a library. # We have other priorities that have been taking precedence, and we have relatively few engineers (basically, me) who are willing and able to work on UploadWizard. I would really prefer to have UploadWizard be the answer, because it deals with a lot of corner cases that I don't want to lose support for. A new upload tool would be faster but less helpful overall. Hope that sheds some light on where I am. -- Mark Holmquist Software Engineer, Multimedia Wikimedia Foundation [email protected] https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:MHolmquist
