(Bugzilla: 28850) Improved category interface: You no longer need to confirm each category, and the indicator that a category does not exist is passive as opposed to a scary dialog. Indeed, I'm not sure what this refers to either. Seconded - if you want to create a tracking bug for issues that you see as blockers for WLM 2012, that would be very helpful. We don't have a lot of dedicated effort on Upload Wizard right now, but a single contractor (Mark Holmquist) will continue to churn through issues/feature requests at least for another 2 months or so, and Brion and Kaldari have kindly been helping with code reviews and improvements. The main priority areas for improvements are error handling + small UX issues. Plus, there's an exciting GSOC project for improved Flickr integration ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Drecodeam/GSoC_2012_Application ), Kaldari is mentoring that one as well. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

I've also logged https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37144 for tracking WLM bugs, I'll do my best to keep those 2 in sync. Strainu

The other was uploaded without license with the license provided later. You cannot skip the "Release rights" step, but you can choose "I believe this work is freely licensed or legally in the public domain. I understand that if I do not add the necessary licensing information in a timely fashion, the file may be deleted." This will lead to {{subst:uwl}} on the description page, which what I see here. Perhaps. Detecting common cases would be nice -- but each one requires special care. Go ahead and file a bug for OSM license detection; we might be able to get to it at least in the long run. -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

A question about upload speed - can you show what the current upload speed is in the progress bar? And also, what would be the maximum upload speed that I could expect to achieve with chunked uploading? Technically I've got an upload speed of up to 10MB/s, but my upload speed is considerably slower than that using UploadWizard, is this a server-side constraint due to lack of ability to support everyone at whatever their max uploads will be? I don't mind waiting for an upload to finish, but when people start using the Wizard to upload gigabytes of data, this could lengthen the process considerably. -- Thehelpfulone http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thehelpfulone
