Hi!
I’ve moved the is-upload tool from Toolserver to WMF labs. it’s now there [1]. Please, update links accordingly.
I’ve also rewritten most of it. The new features are:
1. It does not use any more the IaUploadBot Commons user account to upload files but your own account using OAuth. The upload tool will request the upload and edit rights of your account each time you load it (it doesn’t store your OAuth credentials anywhere). The edit right is needed because the upload right does not cover the creation of File description pages.
2. Some small bugs are now fixed.
Thomas

Thank you Tpt, your tool is *awesome*. I suggest everyone to use it: using Internet Archive to get the djvu and then Tpt's tool it's probably the best "from-scan-file-to-Commons" cycle I know, the most efficient and easy one. We are rewriting the italian wikisource Help pages accordingly, it's probably the only option I would like to mention :-)
I always suggest this option to libraries and GLAMs, as they can harness Internet Archive facilities to get different file formats (as the djvu) and also a good OCR.
Right now, we only miss to steps to close the cycle: * have an easy way to Upload a book from Google Books to Internet Archive * have an easy way to upload metadata from Commons to Wikisource. Maybe Wikidata will help use in this.

I would say that another step should be also simplified - I mean uploading raw page scans to IA in order to get DjVu/PDF with an OCR layer. Right now it is required to upload an archive file with special naming which is not very straightforward from help pages.

Thank you Tpt,
But I got some message like "Sorry, something went wrong connecting this application. Go back and try to connect your account again, or contact the application author."

We should improve Help pages then.
I think it's kinda easy to create a .zip file from a folder of raw scans with the suffix "_images.zip"
You just have to write it crystal clear :-)

You just have to write it crystal clear :-)
When I wrote https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Help:DjVu_files#The_Internet_Archive, things were less easy and we still only have a footnote "You can also try the new _images archive format". We can probably add a TL;DR version at top "just upload your scans in a PDF or compressed in a file _images.zip" and leave the rest for the cases where automatic detection of language or resolution fails etc.

Found a minor issue while playing with https://archive.org/details/dictionnairedarc03rola:
text inviting to create an Creator page on Wikimedia Commons is displayed as raw text with HTML tags visible
BTW many thanks for another great tool!

@Luiz Augusto I’ve just fixed this issue. Thanks for the report.
@Aubrey There is already [1] that should be reusable by other wikisources for Commons -> Index: importation.

Found a new small issue after your fix: the creator page should be placed on Creator namespace, not in the main namespace
