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?

We're half way there. I have to finish the other half (Which I really do plan to do). Perhaps this weekend :)

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.
This isn't exactly a new, shiny thing, but it's certainly a much more accessible old shiny thing, and I love the idea of being able to upload from Flickr without using Tool Labs.

Can we get a task for it and put it on #roadmap? :)

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.
