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
