Hello all,
Just to say that I'm in the Highlands of Scotland at the moment working with a small
museum (who hold a recognised collection of national significance to Scotland) in my
capacity as Wikimedian in Residence at Museums Galleries Scotland. Managed a couple of
small but significant uploads to Commons yesterday using the tool - couple of bumps along
the way but both myself and the curator really excited to have this resource. I'll
share the pix once we're finished.. (A wee description of what each field
should/could contain would be a big help, I think.)
Huge thanks to all involved with this. I can see massive potential for many of the
organisations I've worked with over the last 16 months.
Best,Sara[[user:lirazelf]]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Muse…

Hi All!
A new open-source upload tool, intended for all, but especially small-to-medium GLAMs and
their volunteers, is now available for use. Here it is:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Pattypan
The program is a desktop Java application that generates an .xls file to be filled in with
file descriptions, based on extensive choice of file description fields, and supporting
wikicode in any field.
The application was written by Yarl - author of Vicuna uploader. We would like to hear
opinions and requests: Yarl is still working on the uploader so modifications and
improvements will be added :-)
The download page on Github:
https://github.com/yarl/pattypan/releases
Quick instructions:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Pattypan/Simple_manual
(will be expanded)
The program is very new but we hope you might find it useful and interesting. Please
share!
Thanks :-)
Marta
