[Bug 31828] Set up a file dropbox or similar for temporary storage of files pending server-side upload
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31828 --- Comment #10 from Dereckson dereck...@espace-win.org 2012-10-02 06:36:39 UTC --- Nemo pointed to me on IRC this bug missed any actual description [of the service, what purpose it would serve and how it would look like. Use case Commons contributors have sometimes to upload big files. They can't do that on Commons, whether their own bandwidth capability doesn't allow that, whether the file is greater than 500 Mb. In such cases, the contributor files a bug on Bugzilla giving the file URL. Sometimes, some users have problems to store files. Alternative ways are to use services like Vimeo, Dropbox (Nemo also suggested to use archive.org) but they all have drawbacks, the least being to have to review, analyse and accept a 3rd party agreement, the worst being usability and space or bandwidth limitation. Rationale = * Would ease the life of contributors * Would allow niceties like a bug publishing wizard. * Would increase Commons participation Service description === In a nutshell - A transitional service to host large files having to be published on Wikimedia Commons. Phase 1 --- * Public FTP protected by a semi public password, given to everyone having to upload a file (the only goal is to restrict people scanning IP ranges ; that works very well with graphics or media agencies, VICE magazine for example publishes on the Ads section their password in a specifications PDF, without any major issue). * Shell access for power users * Web form to download file from remote place Socially, FTP and shell access are restricted to download files to be published on Wikimedia Commons. Phase 2 --- * Create a dedicated Bugzilla account to allow users not having one to use this service (it would rely on TUSC authentication) through a bug publishing wizard. It would fill a bug with the upload request, a standardized format. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31828 --- Comment #11 from Fastily fast...@yahoo.com 2012-10-02 06:43:53 UTC --- I definitely strongly support the creation of a labs instance with a public ftp. That would greatly simplify the large file contribution process, not only for me, but for editors in general. On a related note, chunked uploads is still broken and waiting on bug 36587. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

It would fill a bug with the upload request, a standardized format. Of course this part belongs to another bug or new project proposal or whatever: it assumes WMF sysadmins will process an unlimited amount of server-side upload requests, which is not the case right now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
