FYI, For anyone interested in Pattypan for bulk uploading images to Commons, there is a new version that came out 2 weeks ago for Microsoft Windows that is very easy to run. It is a single download and does not require fumbling for Java or special libraries. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Pattypan#Quick_links https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Pattypan&diff=prev&… https://github.com/Wikimedia-Sverige/pattypan/releases In case anyone finds it useful, as the Linux and Mac versions are not nearly as easy to run. -Andrew

Post Wikimania thoughts

by Andrew Lih

Hi all, Wikimania hosted a robust conversation around the areas of interest to WREN folks. I'm listing a few thoughts here but encourage anyone to share your insights to this list. Some links in the meantime: 1. There was a great WREN panel at Wikimania with good attendance, hosted by Florence Devouard. Mike Dickison's closing thoughts were powerful. Session description: https://eventyay.com/e/8f889410/session/8611 Full video: https://www.youtube.com/live/r6J_vNbWLY8?si=zirP0vtsHcyxbYPC&t=8633 Mike's comments on fixing and supporting metrics or WiR will "disappear" - https://www.youtube.com/live/r6J_vNbWLY8?si=AyebgvYZrCN2Gm3K&t=10065 2. There is currently a very involved conversation on the GLAM Wiki Telegram group about how to fix the metrics and other parts of the toolchain. It's long, but there is widespread interest in keeping this momentum going. https://t.me/c/1723589369/2842 Thanks all. -Andrew
