Liam has just published this Europeana blog post about the first big projects using the new GLAMwiki Toolset uploader (GWT). The main image is one of the unusual "photochrom" prints from the 1890s that I uploaded as a Wikimedia UK sponsored project - these hand coloured prints feature locations from around the world and were incredibly popular to send as gifts in that period, a time when colour photography was still experimental; this high quality chromolithographic process was to virtually vanish within a few years.
We are hoping that there will be a lot of interest in new GWT projects at Wikimania (and the hackerthon beforehand) both from GLAM professionals and keen volunteers. It's certainly worth browsing some of the projects delivered so far that the tool has made possible, especially if you think you might reuse some of the images. Those of us who helped create the tool are looking forward to this transforming Wikimedia Commons into a standard home on the internet for the public to find high quality GLAM materials.
