I was wondering if there was any post-hackathon follow up with the flickrupload work that happened? Anything interesting/fun coming down the pipe there?
This is unrelated to the hackathon work but I would be interested to know what you all think about the idea outlined in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T55046#1310718 (basically a way to generalize review to other image sharing sites, without forcing maintainers to go through gerrit code review).
Well I'd like to get the flickr thing working first before generalizing. But I do feel that it would be really nice to generalize the transfer from another site.
Generalizing adds a lot of complexity in general, and the system your describing sounds really complex (with signing keys and things). I'm not sure if the benefit of allowing people to hook into upload wizard without going through gerrit warrants such complexity, and if people really wanted to transfer from other sites without uploading something to gerrit, would they just use userscripts and tool lab tools as an easier alternative.
