I hereby celebrate that we've merged Ankur Anand's (drecodeam's) Flickr integration work into UploadWizard, and that administrators on Commons can now upload photos directly from Flickr. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28731 .
Once we've shaken this out on the live site, I believe we'll be able to open it up so all users will be able to upload multiple images at once from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons. I can only imagine how great this will be for Wiki Loves Monuments next year. :-) Thanks to Ankur, Ryan Kaldari, Mark Holmquist, and everyone else who worked on this!

Ankur worked on this as part of his 2012 Google Summer of Code project. His HTML5 drag-and-drop support and geolocation metadata import for UploadWizard, still need polish before we can merge them: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:drecodeam+status:open,n,z Feel free to help.
Also, our blog post about this year's GSoC students is now re-posted on the Google open source blog: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/11/wikimedia-students-share-their...
