On upload forms
by Brion Vibber 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For a long time we've had to suffer with an image upload form which was pretty bare-bones, while attempting to shoehorn more smarts into it through templates and JavaScript hacks. Well, I think it's about time we prioritize really doing this thing right. Commons, and MediaWiki generally, needs an upload form which: a) Works sensibly b) Looks good c) Allows you to upload the file, extract metadata, compare duplicates, make sure it's sensibly named, and *then* commit it into the system. d) Handles batch uploads with a minimum of fuss (or at least, as minimally fussy as one can get with HTML file upload forms :) Note that this isn't going to be done by tacking JavaScript and templates onto the existing form; this is going to be a real effort to redesign it from scratch into something that handles today's actual needs. I'd appreciate hearing from people interested in helping out in the following capacities: * Designing user interface mockups * Helping code it up in MediaWiki * Testing the new form under development * Providing constructive criticism as we work This effort will probably take from a few weeks to a few months to get to the point where it's really live; we may even try experiments like having the old and new forms available side-by-side on the live site so people really have a chance to bang at it in real usage without forcing an in-flux test system on everyone. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg/CJcACgkQwRnhpk1wk47cmwCeLwjpDR6thinMa39erKqkITlN QYEAniraOmYsVBFSeqq7M1MKbXMkn2g/ =moPb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Museums putting content on Wikipedia
by david.monniaux＠free.fr 09 Jun '08

Hi, Following from a discussion with the French Ministry of Culture (in charge of national museums, among other things), I'd like to know whether some museums, French or otherwise, officially put content onto Wikipedia or Commons. I'd also like to know about the various upload schemes for artwork, including uploading of content that we deem PD under Corel v Bridgeman Art Library. Cheers DM

Commons admins should be able to view deleted images Wikimedia wide
by Bryan Tong Minh 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

This comes up every now and then, but now it is finally possible to make Global Groups. This means that if there is Wikimedia wide consensus for it, the stewards could create a user groups, in which a SULed user can be added so that they can view deleted edits on any project. Needless to say this would be incredibly useful for Commons admins who need to review crosswiki file uploads. Any opinions on this and how to get the unnecessary consensus on this? Bryan
