--- Comment #7 from Sven Manguard <[email protected]> 2012-01-31 23:30:30 UTC --- Implementation question: Once this goes up, what sort of interface will be built to facilitate the moves, and who will have the ability to initiate the moves? CommonsHelper, the current transfer bot, functions only occasionally and rarely is the output ideal. ForTheCommonGood, developed by This, that and the other, works much better than CommonsHelper, and with better results. CH is on the toolserver, I believe, while FTCG is not. I see three implementation options: The development of an upload wizard built into Commons that allows transfers from other projects, the recoding of one or more of those tools to integrate URL uploading, or a combination of both of these things. While I don't know if coding the interfaces is your job or not, I'd like to hear from you as to which of these will be possible and which of these will be secure enough to be an acceptable option? I'd like to know this before the 1.20wmf deployment, so that I can try and rally a group of people to get the interface working before it goes live. FTCG, simply by virtue of functioning better, has saved the file workers untold hours in post-transfer cleanup; it is important that we make sure that the new transfer interface(s) are as good as possible, as early as possible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
