16 GB total or 16 GB each image? I assume total, as we're talking of
It is total 16 GB in the JPG-Version. The originals are TIFF with 40 MB each. I use perl and ImageMagick to convert this in JPG. So we can easily work with this file and a local website to add metadatas and categories. The publisher set the limit solution for the upload at comman to 1000 pixel on the short side. So we will upload each postcard with approximately 1000x1500 pixel. This is not much but better than nothing and there are some very interesting postcard in this collection.
postcards. I don't know about your bandwidth but that should be quick to upload. You can for instance use scp or SFTP to upload them to Tool Labs https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Tool_Labs and it will be easy for anyone, including Wikimedia Germany, to pick them up.
Ok, this could be a way. I can upload this picture at Tool Labs with SFTP. And then I have a URL like https://tools.wmflabs.org/my_project/images/00001.jpg
Yes, I have enough bandwidth.
One more question: Should we upload TIFF or JPG? Ok, TIFF is a lossless image format. But I think JPG is more in use.
