Could these features be included in MW? What's
needed is:
* Batch uploading image files while OCR read text will be included in
the page body.
* A split screen where the image can be viewed in a column on the left
while the text may be edited on the right hand side.
* A check box where the page can be flagged as "proofread"
Hmm.
Batch uploading was something which Rob recently whipped up. It's
been available through bot software though. Images and text can go in
the same wiki page without a problem.
A split screen.. Open up two browser windows, with one showing the
picture at the top of the article, and the other in editing-mode.
A checkbox? Just add some sort of note to the top {{proofread}}.
Possibly even have several, to describe that item's status (who's
reading it, how much they have done, etc)
A clean interface would have to be dreamed up.. to make it more
straightforward to have collections of pages. A bot uploader would
need to be tweaked to do something like.. add pages in subdirectories
like so:
* [[article]]
* [[article/page1]]
* [[article/page2]]
then pictures would need to be uploaded as:
[[image:article--page1]]
[[image:article--page2]]
then automatically add the images to the [[article/page1]] etc items.
This functionality sounds like something which doesn't need official
mediawiki support.. it would just need a nice upload helper which
would upload the pictures and prepare the stub-articles in the wiki.
