The glamtools list we created a couple of years ago, after launching the GLAM wiki toolset, has recently had very few users asking questions about tools.

On behalf of the list mods, I invite feedback on whether the list should be re-promoted as a useful but more general discussion about Wikimedia Commons batch upload tools, techniques and issues. For example it could be the recommended email list for all tools listed at Commons:Upload tools[1] and for GLAM related tools such as those listed on Outreach[2]. Alternatively, if the feeling is we have enough lists and notice boards that do this job, this may be the right time to close the list down and refer users elsewhere.

Though it costs nothing to run the email list, and past discussions have been useful, there is a small volunteer cost in admin time to keep an eye on the moderation queue.

If you prefer to discuss on-wiki, see the Commons VP thread.[3]
