Hi all,
To get the ball started, it should be pretty easy for a community developer
to create a simple tool powered by the Wikimedia
Toolserver. This could
be done by adapting the Flickr upload bot (4), to perform some of its
verification and file transfer functions, such as: retrieving the metadata
from the IA Metadata API, confirming that it has the appropriate license,
checking a blacklist of contributors, then uploading the file.
Related: Thomas Tanon (User:Tpt) has written a tool to transfer books from
the Internet Archive to Wikimedia Commons (and using OAuth \o/)
It lives on Tool Labs
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload>
And the code is available on GitHub:
