 The Australian Paralympic Committee has provided ~650 images to

 They are broken into four sets and they are now hosted on our server.

 663,512 Mb - New Atlanta scans 1 of 3 - 207 photographs
 480,108 Mb - New Atlanta scans 2 of 3 - 156 photographs
 470,000 Mb - New Atlanta scans 3 of 3 - 142 photographs
 531,828 Mb - New Barcelona scans - 140 photographs

 If anyone is able to download zip files that big, and reupload the
 images to Commons, let me know and I'll give you the URL of one set to
 download.

Bulk image uploads can be done on the server side using importImages.php:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportImages.php

You just have to provide a .txt file for each image giving its image
description, i.e. 650 .txt files. Also the files have to be named
appropriately, preferably with a prefix to avoid conflicts with
existing file names.

If you have a zip file in that form, then you can file a shell request
in bugzilla.wikimedia.org for it to be imported.

Alternatively you can use Commonist or some other automated client.

I bet I could fix it in under 5 minutes if I had shell access.

 Hello,

 I'm afraid you'll just have to be annoyed a while longer, because our
 tech resources are limited, and if I gave an ETA, I would just be
 making it up, so I won't.

 More important priorities include
 1) Setting up donations software
 2) Continuing migrating services from our existing ($) server on to
 our new (free) server
 3) Setting up new membership software, migrating existing data to that

 It is possible (even probable I hope) that the history tab problem may
 be fixed by the migration itself.

 Hello,

 post AGM I (and others) have inspired a flurry of activity on the the
 official wiki, and I was just trying again to hop into the 'history' section
 of a page, which I know most are aware is broken at the moment.

 I think this was mentioned yesterday in passing, but I'm afraid I missed it,
 so could we get an eta on fixing up the wiki so it works proper :-) (doesn't
 matter to me how long it takes, but not knowing is annoying!)

 cheers,

 Peter,
 PM.
