I hereby celebrate that we've merged Ankur Anand's (drecodeam's) Flickr integration work into UploadWizard, and that administrators on Commons can now upload photos directly from Flickr. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28731 .
Once we've shaken this out on the live site, I believe we'll be able to open it up so all users will be able to upload multiple images at once from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons. I can only imagine how great this will be for Wiki Loves Monuments next year. :-) Thanks to Ankur, Ryan Kaldari, Mark Holmquist, and everyone else who worked on this!
The Gerrit changeset that went through 26 patchsets (if at first you don't succeed, try, try again): https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/12269/
Ankur worked on this as part of his 2012 Google Summer of Code project. His HTML5 drag-and-drop support and geolocation metadata import for UploadWizard, still need polish before we can merge them: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:drecodeam+status:open,n,z Feel free to help.
Also, our blog post about this year's GSoC students is now re-posted on the Google open source blog: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/11/wikimedia-students-share-their...
That is awesome. This integration will help a lot and make easy upload to commons.

Is there an API function, or a URL-parameter-based initialization? That would life a whole lot easier for some of my tools!
Cheers, Magnus

I think you wanthttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload#Uploading_from_URL
Note that it's limited to *.flickr.com and *.staticflickr.com on Wikimedia at the moment, and Wikimedia's proxy for it is broken with HTTPS URLs.

Nice feature! Why didn't he create a group [1] so we can assign the right to users we trust? That's the common(s) way of handling these kind of things. That way you can slowly expand the testing group without opening it up for everyone.

The feature is currently assigned to the sysop and image-reviewer groups. The image-reviewer group seems like a good fit since it is the group tasked with reviewing Flickr images for copyright compliance on Commons. Thus it would include people who know how to avoid Flickrwashing. There is a page for requesting the image-reviewer rights here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Image-reviewer
The actual user-right that is being utilized is upload-by-url. If the Commons community wants to create a separate user group for that right, I'm sure we could accommodate that.
