I remember there was an Isrealis project of collecting old photos and then upload them to Commons via local server. Maybe they can share some code with you? By the way - such a server side collecting photo software would be usefull not only for WLM but also in many other cases - for example during cooperation with GLAM Institutions. Maybe you will find interesting a Vicunia uploader: https://github.com/yarl/vicuna It is probably still too sophisticated - but it let collect photos and add metadata off-line, save metadata as an xml file in a folder together with pictures and then upload files later. -- Tomek "Polimerek" Ganicz http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Polimerek http://www.ganicz.pl/poli/ http://www.cbmm.lodz.pl/work.php?id=29&title=tomasz-ganicz _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
