The major technical challenge started here while uploading the images. The system would not allow upload from many people simultaneously and only one person's images were uploaded at a time ! On informing this to Dr. Nagarjuna, he mentioned about asking help from the IRC center but unfortunately, none of the wikipedians were online at that time. We tried calling few , but for some reason they cwere not available then.
My sympathies and condolences on this problem!
Quick question -- which IRC channels did you go into? If I know more about that, I can help encourage better 24/7 coverage.
In the long run, it'll be helpful for Wikimedia to have volunteer system administrators around the world, to increase the chances that someone is online and available and can help you. And maybe you can become a sysadmin yourself! Wikimedia Labs https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Projects/Wikimedia_Labs is an effort to help grow the Wikimedia system administration community. Check it out. It's in closed beta right now and it is still under construction, but if you ask on the Talk/Discuss page for an invite, you can get one.
