Greetings, everyone!
The WMF Inuka team [1] is exploring having the Wikistories tool [2] on
Commons, so we want to get your feedback.
*Our proposal*
The Inuka team believes the Wikistories tool would significantly increase
our projects' visual form of knowledge if we introduce a Wikistories
workflow in WikiCommons. The above is because the Commons is a repository
of freely licensed media files that is discoverable across other projects
and languages. We have outlined our goals for this initiative on the
project page [3], and we are optimistic about a good outcome. However, the
Wikistories on Commons initiative is still a proposal that will require the
WikiCommons community's feedback/ input on our design explorations before
we commit to the work.
*Our request *
In the next three weeks, the Inuka team would want you as a member of the
Commons community to:
- Read more about the initiative.
- Attend our proposed office hours, where we will present our design
exploration and discuss our plan with this proposal.
- Give feedback on this initiative and share your input about the design
exploration on the talk page [4] we have created.
We have provided three spots for office hours.
- Wednesday, 26th October at 10:00 UTC [5]
- Saturday, 29th October at 15:00 UTC [6]
- Monday 31st October at 06:00 UTC [7]
Please click on the date that works for you and register to attend the
office hour. If you can't attend, that is fine. However, we will appreciate
your feedback about the design exploration [8] and the Wikistories on
Commons proposal on the talk page.
We, the Inuka team, are excited about this work's possibilities, and we
look forward to having you all onboard at every phase.
Thank you!

Hello friends
We have just released a new version of the ISA tool on the Test Server.
The new version propose semi-automatic tagging of images, which seeks to
assist community in identifying and labelling depicts statements for
Commons files.

*We are currently looking for feedback with regards to the look, feel,
and usability of the tool*with the machine vision / metadata-to-concept
enhancements in place.
In a second stage, we will be testing the quality of the recommandations
provided.
We deeply appreciate your feedback, since it will help us determine the
next steps of the project.
Please sign-up to indicate interest, test the tool, and simply provide
feedback in the talk page.
