I am pleased to announce that a database has now been
set up for the
Wikimedia Commons.
This is great news!
The site is temporarily located at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/ until
the project gets its own domain.
I'm pretty sure the plan was to keep the domain name exactly like it is now
since it is a *common* resource for all Wikimedia projects (just like Meta).
This provides a space for those interested to begin
forming the
guidelines for the site, and to discuss how the software will need to
adapt to make the Commons as useful as possible.
The previous discussions are now linked to from
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_plan.
Batches of files may be uploaded as compressed zip files. Some time in
the next few days, a script will be written to decompress these zip
files on the server side. Please make sure you use appropriate file
names inside the archives.
Hm. Lot's of images to transfer. Could the transwiki function be tweaked in
order to do this?
