Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Images from APC
I'm uploading them via Commonist which I've modified for this. Just need to check for what have already been uploaded, trying to ident some of the athletes as well as getting the file names correct, after that I'll do the mass upload of one batch. Storms in the area are not helping ATM.

[Wikimediaau-l] Images from APC
The Australian Paralympic Committee has provided ~650 images to Wikimedia Australia that need to be uploaded to Commons. They are broken into four sets and they are now hosted on our server. 663,512 Mb - New Atlanta scans 1 of 3 - 207 photographs 480,108 Mb - New Atlanta scans 2 of 3 - 156 photographs 470,000 Mb - New Atlanta scans 3 of 3 - 142 photographs 531,828 Mb - New Barcelona scans - 140 photographs If anyone is able to download zip files that big, and reupload the images to Commons, let me know and I'll give you the URL of one set to download. These uploads count under the Kickstart grant, ... http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Proposal:Camera_equipment_program#Kickstart_grant but be warned that the photos are often unidentified people, so it may be hard to categorise without doing a lot of research ;-) In which case you may be interested in joining the hopau mailing list and the Wikipedians to the Games program. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/hopau https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/HOPAU/W2G -- John Vandenberg ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
