Micru,

As a question re uploaded works to Commons. Are we labelling these in some way as needing to have Index: pages at the WSes, and by language of work? If not, then it would seem that we may need to do some curatorial work to
can we identify .djvu files at Commons that are not linked to indices. Thinking about how we can make things easier for ourselves.

Regards, Billinghurst

Have you tried the Book Uploader Bot? It is a project created by Rohit (in CC) for his GSoC.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bub/index

It takes some available images from digital libraries, uploads them to Internet Archive (which converts to djvu and adds OCR), and then notify the user with a link to transfer the file to Commons when the file is ready.

If you want to use the same workflow for Spreads, you would need to add an option to BUB to upload an image batch and request the metadata from the user. It doesn't seem that hard considering that most of the work has been done.

Cheers,

Micru
