GLAM - Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums

2009/11/9 Eusebius <wikipedia@eusebius.fr>
Hi Gerard, thanks for your report,

  • there is now global usage for images from within MediaWiki itself.. so no need for using the toolserver... The process of gathering all the necessary data may now have ended..
I hadn't seen that, that's nice. Results seem to be incomplete, though, is it working only on a subset of the servers?
  • the workflow of uploads will be reconsidered; this means that a "working area" will exists where pictures can have a temporary home. This will allow to upload a batch of images and tag them all with shared attributes.. It will also allow for the checking of known issues BEFORE they go live
I am much interested in that point and the subjects related to this planned modification of the workflow, where can we find more information about that?

  • This working or staging area would also exist for GLAMs or competitions
What's GLAM again?
  • Social networking tools help us support newbies, resolve issues in a quiet way.
What do you mean? Any specific details available anywhere?

Thanks again
Eusebius
