[Commons-l] batch upload problems of museum photos (got permission)

[Aude]

I think I will be trying pywikipedia.  It's not just this batch of ~35, but
100+ more that I also have from Hiroshima, maybe some more from Taiwan, and
additional batches that I may have in the future. Overnight, I let Commonist
run.  It seems to have transferred everything, but failed on the last step
-- creating galleries or something.
