open to all
-----------
my main concern in regards to opening the tool to everyone is whether or not bad up
loaders could be dealt with quickly enough.
too many uploads at once
------------------------
there are already “throttles” in place that limit the amount of files that can be uploaded
at once and per background job run and the total number of GWToolset uploads that can
exist in the job queue at once:
•
thus far i don’t think we’ve run into issues with those limit.
big upload issue
----------------
as far as i currently understand the issue, the problem was not that GWToolset uploaded
too many images; the problem was that the tool that generates thumbnails tried to create
too many thumbnails at once. if that’s true, then it seems to me that the tool that takes
care of that should have it’s own throttle and job queue so that it doesn’t try to create
too many thumbnails at once.
with kind regards,
dan

UploadWirzard supports
uploadbyurl, but it is only enabled for licenser and admins because upload by url is not
100% stable.
GWToolset has bugs too.
3 - Before making massive uploads, people want to
try it *with the real
tool* (GLAMs too).
We have the betacluster
(
http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/) to test. It is a real clone.
Per request (mailinglist/talkpage/mail) i can grant the gwtoolset right to trusted user
without bureaucracy on the betacluster.
