Toolset test upload failed
by Jason J. Evans 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi We are having trouble testing an upload to Commons Beta using the GW Toolset. We have obtained all the correct permissions and whitelisted the domain. We attach a xml file with data for only a hand full of low res images but the upload then fails when we click 'submit'. We get the following message: The file that was uploaded exceeds the upload_max_filesize and/or the post_max_size directive in php.ini. Does anyone have any ideas. I have attached the Metadata file we are using. Thanks! -- Jason Evans Wicipediwr Preswyl / Wikipedian in Residence Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / National Library of Wales jason.evans(a)llgc.org.uk Ffon/Tel: +44 (0)1970 632405

uploading Geo- referenced map
by Jason J. Evans 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello, I would be grateful for some advise on the following matter. The NLW is interested in uploading a large Tithe Map (1840's map of a whole town) to Commons. The map has already been Geo- referenced at multiple points. Would it be possible to import that Geo referencing data into Commons? Will commons except a .geotiff file? or can the data be imported in some other way. The file will be close to the 1GB upload limit (manual uploader) in size and will be High Resolution. Thanks Jason -- Jason Evans Wicipediwr Preswyl / Wikipedian in Residence Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / National Library of Wales jason.evans(a)llgc.org.uk Ffon/Tel: +44 (0)1970 632405

Seeking feedback. Please read the GWT 2.0 grant application draft
by Liam Wyatt 08 Apr '15

Dear GLAMWiki-verse, [tl;dr Seeking feedback. Please read the GWT 2.0 grant application draft before I submit it officially: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Europeana/GLAMwiki_Toolset ] As you're aware, within *Europeana* I (and MANY others) have been working on building a major grant application to the Wikimedia Foundation to continue development of the GLAMwiki Toolset. I think the last few months - since the toolset has been "public" - have shown that there is widespread interest in (and usage of) the tool. It's already become part of the "standard" things that we use when talking to potential partners. However, that there are lots of things that can still be improved in it. As anyone who has ever written a large grant proposal knows, there is a LOT of negotiation, behind the scenes that goes in to getting the document supported by all the relevant stakeholders, and this is no exception. [Heck - I chaired the first formal meeting about this project during Wikimania Haifa!!] So, it is with great pleasure that I can say that the GLAMwiki Toolset grant application is *almost *ready to be submitted officially. This is where *you* come in... Many of you have already seen this grant in various states of construction or have been part of the consultation process about what gets prioritised and what doesn't. Now I would really appreciate if you could have another look at the [hopefully] finished application. This is the chance to identify any errors, missing elements, excellent examples I've forgotten, logical flaws, spelling mistakes... *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Europeana/GLAMwiki_Toolset <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Europeana/GLAMwiki_Toolset>* - If you like it, excellent. Please put your name on the "endorse" list at the bottom. - If you've got a comment/critique/suggestion, excellent. Tell me (on the talkpage, email, morse-code, carrier-pigeon etc...) Once any major points arising have been addressed, we'll then "flip the switch" and formally submit the grant application. -Liam / Wittylama Europeana GLAMwiki liaison p.s. In case you're wondering, we do have permission from the WMF grants team to submit this application at this time, even thought it is during the 'inspire grants' campaign <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire_Grants_%E2%80%93_Gen…>, because it was already so far down the track of negotiation with various stakeholders. wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata
