Hi,
With most of the usability issues ironed out the last two weeks with the countries that were testing the tool, I have been preparing for deployment for the rest of the countries. Unfortunately, due to persona issues I won't have much time to take care of each installation and configuration as I planned (at least for a couple of weeks), so what I did is roll out all of the installations at
http://wlm.wmflabs.org/<country code>
At the moment no tool (except for those that were testing it these weeks) have users, so the first thing I'll ask every coordinator in every country listed at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/JuryToo...
ist to register in your own tool using the following URL
http://wlm.wmflabs.org/<country code>/register
I'll take care of promoting the first user registered in every tool as admin of the tool in around 24 hours, which will let that user configure the tool. For countries that are going to test this only, and expect to use the tool on October, feel free to configure it for testing purposes since the tool can be reset.
One unimplemented feature that came as a suggestion from Michael Maggs (and was something Lodewijk suggested on our original conversation too) is not to decide the number of rounds upfront, but rather have a way to start a round when needed. I didn't find the time to implement this feature, yet the tool is able to feedback from its own output so if your country does not know exactly how many rounds you will need, just configure the tool for one round, and you'll be able to export all images that meet some criteria, I'll reset the tool, and you can use that output for another round.
All questions to my e-mail to keep the mailing list clear, please.
Sorry List, false start, I had to make some installation and configure most of the databases before sending this e-mail and forgot to. I've now fixed this, so if you tried before and were unable to see the registering form, try again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
