Hello Asaf,
Thanks for getting the zip file of all the files for me. It was really smaller than I expected.
I have gone through the 800+ images and I have selected just a little over 100 images as candidate images to present to the jury.[1]
I wish to hereby add a *disclaimer *(I've cc'ed wikimedia-gh list as well): *The list of selected images I present contains about 10 of images I took and uploaded. I included them, not because I took them, but because I think they are not bad images and as such are worth to be considered candidate images to present. The jury are free to exclude or include them upon reviewing the images.[2]*
The compressed folder of images also contain a .txt file with links to the selected images original files on Commons.
As it stands now, the selected images are ready. I hope we can get a jury to take it from here? And whats more, the list I present is just something *I* feel are good. The jury are free to also go through the 800+ images in case they wish to widen their taste. :p
I think in general, images that came from Ghana aren't that deviating from this year's competition theme.
Thanks

Hi, Rexford.
Based on this need, I'm building a downloader tool (as a volunteer; this isn't done in my WMF role) to help create such collections of reduced-resolution (any size you want) images for a given Commons category. It's not quite ready for use, but in the meantime I've created the collection you wanted in the size you specified. It is 157 megabytes in size, and you can download it (in a 7-Zip[1] archive) from here[2].
I hope this helps, and let me know if you run into other issues.

I have enough space, just the connection to transfer onto my space is the issue.
But I think 3 Gig shouldn't be an issue to work with.

Thanks. We'll really love it if you help get it up and running for us.
The category is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_ Wiki_Loves_Africa_2014_in_Ghana
As regards resolution, a 1080x720 will be great. Upon picking the ones interested, we can hunt for their full res later.
It's actually easier to grab the full res one, so unless there are disk space problems I would prefer to grab that.
The issue in Ghana is bandwidth, not space.
