If we are going to go through the trouble of storing geo-referencing data, we would be
silly not to add original projection type when known. There are a few specs on github for
ideas. -rhw

from which there is script that an admin can use to add the data to the map-warper.
This doesn't capture all of the data stored by Klokan Georeferencer -- eg the useful
information as to what layer the image was georeferenced against -- but is enough to get
the geo-referencing data into the system, and to then get it out in various formats,
including serving georeferenced tiles.
Sorry if it's all still a little bit round-the-houses; but with luck everything
should get a bit more streamlined, as we get more geared up for large scale import.
(There are already a couple of thousand images on Commons with links to external
georeferencing, either at NYPL or the British Library; plus ready to be uploaded to
Commons a further 6,000 georeferenced map images from the BL Mechanical Curator
collection, just as soon as I've got auto-categorisation a bit more worked out, with
that number currently increasing by approximately a further 100 georeferenced images a
day
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:British_Library/Mechanical_Curat…
).
As far as I know, nobody has yet actually used the script to import pre-existing
georeferencing onto the
warper.wmflabs.org server, so I'm quite interested to see how
you get on!
Best regards,
James.
