I think the UX is pretty good here already (thanks to anyone on thelist who contributed), but additional feedback is appreciated.In the long run it would be good to generalize the "Add from Flickr"into a generalized "Add from [source 1|source 2|...]" UI, but I thinkit's fine for now.Erik---------- Forwarded message ----------From: Erik Moeller <erik@wikimedia.org>Date: Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 6:10 PMSubject: Testing Upload Wizard Flickr import featureTo: Wikimedia Commons Discussion List <commons-l@lists.wikimedia.org>Hi,Kaldari has been polishing the work done during Google Summer of Codeby Ankur Anand to support importing correctly licensed Flickrphoto(-sets) using Upload Wizard. You specify a photoset URL, andUpload Wizard should treat it like a batch upload. You can test thefeature here:http://mwreview.wmflabs.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page (you'll need tomake a new test user account)Just click the "Import from Flickr" button on the first page to get started.Since UW performs a license check, UW will also add a"VerifiedByUploadWizard" template which should help with the long termvalidation of licenses for Flickr imported content.Known issues:* Getting a better 'source' value for each image - ideally we want theregular Flickr URL, not the farm server URL* Getting the description for each image, this may require separatecalls to the Flickr API.* Making the 'author' value a link to the Flickr account* Supporting the feature to copy metadata across a whole batch, whichis shown for regular batch uploadsNow's a good time to start playing with it. You can leave feedbackor file in Bugzilla against the UploadWizard extension.Thanks!Erik--Erik MöllerVP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia FoundationSupport Free Knowledge: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate--Erik MöllerVP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia FoundationSupport Free Knowledge: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate_______________________________________________Design mailing list
