Hi, As there has only been one response, on the Commons VP, suggesting that Commons-l is sufficient to discuss tools and reports in a more general way, I'll look further at closing down the list. I'd like to keep the archive open as a referenceable record in the future, such as linking from Phabricator. I'll check how the archive works before acting. Any links to this list can be adapted to suggest Commons-l as appropriate, I have already amended the main GWT page on Commons. This has been a successful list, and many usability and some complex technical issues that were resolved here. For all those that took part in various ways, thank you for your interest and support! See you on-wiki. :-) Cheers, Fae -- faewik(a)gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae On 10 May 2017 at 13:39, Fæ <faewik(a)gmail.com> wrote: GLAMTOOLS_email_list _______________________________________________ Glamtools mailing list Glamtools(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/glamtools

This GLAMlist has been vital to my projects on Commons, thanks to the kind help of you experts. I hope that though the name of the list may change, a practical facility like this remains available at any rate. Recently, a then still buggy Pattypan made inroads in the Netherlands - the list might also support Pattypan? Thanks a lot, regards, hans muller User:Hansmuller Op Ma, 15 mei, 2017 5:28 pm schreef Jane Darnell: > If it's not too personal maybe you could open it up for uploaders of all > sorts, because we will be hosting data on Commons soon, according to the > reports > > On Sat, May 13, 2017 at 2:58 PM, Fæ <faewik(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > >> Hi, >> >> >> As there has only been one response, on the Commons VP, suggesting that >> Commons-l is sufficient to discuss tools and reports in a more general >> way, I'll look further at closing down the list. >> >> I'd like to keep the archive open as a referenceable record in the >> future, such as linking from Phabricator.
