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.

Ach, wrong email, now corrected offlist ;) But not entirely off-topic. Updates once there's something to discuss. —S

I can upload these to Internet Archive. Bandwidth is not a problem for me. If bandwidth is not a problem for you either, I can help you prepare a CSV file for the batch upload to Internet Archive.

Great, thanks. This first course is only ~25GB of files, so b/w isn't a problem yet, but it will be relevant at some point. I'll ping offlist re: csv prep
I expect these need to be two separate archival uploads for now. But: is there a preferred workflow yet for: # Batch upload to Internet Archive collection (storing original file + format, transcoding) % Batch migrate resulting webm to Commons, preserving link b/t IA and Commons file ?
It would be nice for the Commons descriptor to have a template for items soured from an IA collection, showing both the link to the original source and the link to IA.
