Hi, I have done experiments with this, an upload form outside of the wikipedia can be implemented in drupal very easily. you can create a document type submission with a picture contained.
I have also created bots to do uploaded of pictures, this can been combined.
We should in theory be able to host this on the toolserver, but there is a policy against drupal.. mike
Installing drupal just for providing an upload form? O_O
You can upload from an external site using the classical upload easily (I doubt UploadWizard allows that) but the users would need to be logged-in in commons anyway. The reason for making people go upload to commons is not that people is already "wiki friendly", but that a goal of the competition is that we want them able to upload to commons. Although we will provide a custom interface for the fields they need based on UploadWizard.
Renessaince: the code for [1] is available at [2] but since we will be using UploadWizard, I wouldn't begin translating that different one.
