Hi multimedia people!
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?
bawolff and I worked on it. The patches are...
# New Flickr API[0] # Deleting code for Flickr verification on frontend[1] # Refactoring Flickr code to be less awful to maintain[2]
The long and short of this work is, once it's finished and polished, any technical barriers to enabling Flickr upload for every user on Commons, at least to my knowledge, will be solved. The Commons community may (does) have cultural issues to suss out, but we can help, and if there are further technical tasks, we can evaluate those.
Can we get a task for it and put it on #roadmap? :)
