Hi All!
A new open-source upload tool, intended for all, but especially
small-to-medium GLAMs and their volunteers, is now available for use. Here
it is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Pattypan
The program is a desktop Java application that generates an .xls file to be
filled in with file descriptions, based on extensive choice of file
description fields, and supporting wikicode in any field.
The application was written by Yarl - author of Vicuna uploader. We would
like to hear opinions and requests: Yarl is still working on the uploader
so modifications and improvements will be added :-)
The download page on Github: https://github.com/yarl/pattypan/releases
Quick instructions:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Pattypan/Simple_manual (will be
expanded)
The program is very new but we hope you might find it useful and
interesting. Please share!
Thanks :-)
Marta
