Hello all, I'm presenting a GSOC proposal for a native desktop application designed for mass uploading files on upload campaigns.
This follows the call by Odder at [1] for such a tool, and indeed the scope of the tool would be tailored to WikiLovesMonuments. The deliverable is such an application, which shall be: * A tiny autocontained program (probably in C++), with different versions for each target operating system. * Configurable defaults for uploading to Wikimedia Commons own images as cc-by-sa with given templates and categories. * The user shall be able to change the license / categories if needed. * Request the monument id for the image. * Validation of the monument identifier through a web service if available and time permits. * Basic documentation of the competition (rules and FAQ) * Contains the WLM logo somewhere. * Localisable through translatewiki.net for at least the 28 countries of [2] * Save configuration of images description for later upload. * Asynchronous upload of the images in the background. Opinions? Improvements? Sexy names? Mentors? All of them are welcome! 1- http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2012-March/002538.html 2- http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Participating_countries _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu
