Thanks for the update. I was wondering why you need to develop this new functionality as a mediawiki extension. Is there not enough functionality in the commons Web API [1]? Or is the plan to create plugins that will be deployed on commons.wikimedia.org?

Hi all,
As you might have heard Wikimedia Nederland, Wikimedia UK, Wikimedia France and Europeana are collaborating to provide a set of tools to get material from GLAM institutions onto Wikimedia Commons. The Wiki GLAM Toolset has to be created in a way that re-use can easily be tracked, and that Commons materials can easily be integrated back into the collection of the original GLAM. You can find more about our the Wiki GLAM Toolset on our project page.
Currently we are looking for developers who can help us in this process, if you are interested please let us know. You can find more specific information about our needs on our discussion page.
Thank you!
