Maarten, I've completed the bot and I've made a few test runs to obtain the bot status.Getting the image from flickr and adding the relevant categories and templates worked OK, however I have an upload problem.
The upload times out several times before it uploads the picture to commons, and even after the upload is made - the picture is published, I can see it is complete - it still reports "timed out" and retries. I have to manually stop it and restart the whole process. Do you have any Idea why could this happen? I've stopped all firewalls on that computer, manual upload works perfectly....
