Re: [Commons-l] Maintainer for FlickrLickr wanted

All, I won't realistically be able to continue to maintain the FlickrLickr bot: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:FlickrLickr The bot consists essentially of two components: - a Perl command-line script to fill a MySQL database with information from Flickr about freely licensed (CC-BY) photos; - a Perl CGI script to let users choose photos they want to see uploaded to Commons. Both these scripts are PD code. I'll note that I haven't run the database updater for a while, and if the Flickr API has changed, it may need some fixes. I'd be happy to provide some initial assistance with setup & use, but you'd have to find your own hosting, or migrate it to the toolserver. The script doesn't cause terrible load, but it does create local copies of the images downloaded from Flickr. FlickrLickr doesn't currently have a user registration process; I add new reviewers by hand to the MySQL database. It would probably be wise to change that, since much of my time was spent authorizing users & reviewing their work. It's a pretty powerful tool: Some 10K images have been uploaded through the FlickrLickr review process. Is anyone interested in running & maintaining the script?
