GWToolset uploads stalled?
by Jean-Frédéric 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hi, I have launched an upload of 3000 images using the GWToolset − actually two, one yesterday night with the first 1200 files, another one this morning with the 3K files minus the 100 uploaded in the night Here are the logs : < https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=gwtoolse… > (batches are dated in the summary) Two things: * uploads get stalled. Nothing has happened in the past hour, even though the expected time laps between is around 5 minutes. I had assumed yesterday job had crashed because of too many errors (bad source) but today’s one is stalled too and... * ...uploads may resume. My batch of yesterday was blocked in the night ; before resuming today. Is this normal behaviour? Anything I can do to make it easier for the toolset? Thanks, -- Jean-Frédéric

Amsterdam hackathon and TMIG
by André Costa 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

This month in GLAM is due again and I was wondering if it is worth putting togetehr a special report from the Amsterdam hackathon since this had a GLAM (+wikidata) focus. Since many/most of the participants are also on this list I'm asking here. /André André Costa | GLAM-tekniker, Wikimedia Sverige | Andre.Costa(a)wikimedia.se | +46 (0)733-964574 Stöd fri kunskap, bli medlem i Wikimedia Sverige.

Upload stopps regularly
by Nicolas Rück 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi, our uploading process stopps regularly after several files. To upload about 170 files we had to do 3 attempts, which is quite frustrating, since we need to transfer about 40.000 files. You find the logs here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=gwtoolse… Does anybody knows whats wrong?

Change of direction in GWT 2.0 scoping
by Liam Wyatt 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Dear glamtools list, TL;DR version: In the light of the 2015 business plan, the scope of Europeana's grant application (and involvement in future development) of the GLAMwikiToolset needs to be scaled back to things that have a more direct/obvious relationship to Europeana's mission. I would like your suggestions for what those elements should be. Full version: As the practitioners of the GLAMwikiToolset, the people who know the system, its history/purpose, its abilities and its flaws the best, I thought it important to relay to you directly a message that I delivered to the Wikimedia-l mailing list over the weekend. *The background story...* On that mailing list (for those who are not subscribed to it) there has been a long thread instigated by Erik Moeller on the topic of how the WMF would like to encourage Chapters to take up responsibility for GLAM-related software/tooling. Obviously the GWT and Europeana's involvement came up in this context and I've been actively engaged in the discussion. On Friday was the Europeana AGM in Madrid where the annual plan was publicly discussed. It just so happened that at the exact time the keynote presentation about the 2015 Business Plan was happening, the Wikimedia-l thread renewed, with specific discussion of Europeana's planned commitment to the GWT next year. Incredibly precise timing! *The change of direction...* Of course, what no one knew was that within the context of this Europeana planning, I have been given specific instructions from senior management that a new round of intensive development on a content-agnostic, integrated mass-upload system for Wikimedia Commons is not within the scope of the mission of Europeana. Europeana is, after-all, an organisation focused on European digital cultural heritage but the GWT is a tool that can be used by anyone, from anywhere, for any kind of content that is acceptable to Wikimedia Commons. Further development of the infrastructure of the GWT work would increasingly be focused on areas that are further and further from the mission of Europeana. Europeana DOES wish to continue to develop the GWT in ways that directly support the mission of the organisation, but it has decided NOT to attempt to build the current tool into an all-singing-all-dancing fully integrated system for Commons. It's not about the cost specifically (though potential for 'scope creep' and therefore for budget overrun would have been very probable), but about being focused on the mission of the organisation. This what I wrote publicly on Friday: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2014-October/075203.html >From a personal perspective, as the guy who was pushing for the funding/creation of the magical, easy, beautiful mass-upload system since... I forget how long ago now... I would love to see investment (by anyone), but in my professional perspective I understand the need for Europeana to clearly define the scope of its activities. *Timing difficulties...* I would have liked to have this discussion more slowly and deliberatively but in the context of the AGM and the Wikimedia-l conversation happening, my boss and I agreed that it was important to be clear on the public record as quickly as possible so as not to have any false expectations (or, as few as possible!). I would have preferred to have shared this here first obviously but things don't always work out neatly like that. Apologies. Two other aspects of things that, as a result of this change, didn't work out neatly timing-wise is that we are in the middle of both: a) the EuropeanaTask Force to write a recommended strategy for Europeana's relationship to Wikimedia in accordance with the 2015-2020 strategic plan. b) writing the grant application to the WikimediaFoundation for funding future development of the GWT itself. The first point (the Task Force) is a strategic discussion and so, technically, is a higher-level of planning than the specific software development plans for the GWT. However, in reality, what Europeana invests in the GWT does obviously have implications for the longer-term strategy. Ideally report from the Task Force would be submitted *first *and the decision on the scope investment in the GWT would come as a result of it, but the timing of the annual planning precluded that. The second point (the grant application) means a bit of re-writing and re-scoping... *The request...* Therefore, I would like your advise and suggestions as to what you, the practitioners of the GWT, believe to be the elements which *should *be included in the newly-rewritten WMF grant application, given this specific clarification from Europeana. Given that: - we know that there are many things which we could do to improve the GWT - we know that Europeana will only develop things that have specific relevance to European digital cultural heritage - we know that the WMF will not approve an application for funding technical development if its value is limited to only a small group We need to identify the aspects of the GWT that will have the most impact if improved but are also: *specific *to be listed in the grant application, *achievable *within the time/money/people resources available*, relevant *to the needs of Europeana and the WMF (think SMART criteria <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria>). I've got a few points obviously, but I'd very much appreciate if you could add to this list: - Usability improvements for the current workflow to ensure that the process as it currently stands is clearly explained within the system (including some user testing) - Documentation completion/improvements (including screencasts and linking the steps of the process to the relevant parts of the documentation) - Building a report on the needs of GLAMs to be able to export their data back out of commons (the equivalent of this Europeana-sponsored report into <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Report_on_requirements_for_usage_an…>requirements for usage and reuse statistics for GLAM content <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Report_on_requirements_for_usage_an…> ) - Building the API that will easily push content already in Europeana (i.e. Is using the EDM - Europeana data model) to easily export to a GWT compliant file. - Supporting the development of the Structured Data project (somehow!) Suggestions welcome! -Liam wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata -- wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata

Problem with wiki syntax
by Nicolas Rück 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hello, we just uploaded some files with the GWToolset, but wiki syntax like '''xxx''' for bold text and html-tags don't work. The description text should look like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Siegelmarke_Schulvorstand_zu_Nercha… but actually we get this result: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Siegelmarke_Kolonial_-_Marke_U05081… Does somebody knows a solution?
