Likewise! :) Online now myself.
I have a collection of freely-licensed EdX videos in webm, a few hundred
short videos in all. If we can amline uploading, we may be able to
relicense much of their collection.
I hear importImages is an effective way to upload them; is this something I
can do from labs? is there another way to request an import?
I have a set on a hard drive, can send you a copy; average size ranges from
200M to 1.5G per video (a ~60min class).
Ideally we would end up with
a) an IA collection
b) a wikisource collection (hosted on Commons)
c) video editors updating the video descriptions w/ links to articles that
might be related, and related timestamps. [as step 1 of inviting people to
use in articles and... a magnus style tool :) ]
I have some video editors interested in c. We're stuck on a+b.

Hi all,
We've just released version 2.7 of the Commons Android app ! \o/ The new
version is available for download on the Google Play Store[1] as well as
F-Droid[2].
This update includes several new features:
- New "Nearby places that need pictures" UI with direct uploads (and
associated category suggestions) - Two-factor authentication login -
Notifications activity to display Commons user talk messages - Real-time
location tracking in Nearby - Improvements to UI of navigation drawer,
tutorial, media details view, login and settings - Option to nominate
picture for deletion in media details view
We are also thrilled to be mentoring two new contributors for this year's
GSoC - Tanvi Dadu and Ujjwal Agrawal. :)
Thank you all for your support and encouragement thus far! More details and
screenshots can be found in my blog post[3]. Feedback, bug reports, and
suggestions are always welcome on our GitHub page[4].
Best regards,
Josephine (project maintainer)
