Bug ID: 68882
Summary: support for server-side uploads (direct from HDD
shipment)
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: GWToolset

Generally, the default for GLAM uploads should be to transfer images over
internet (even if the files are so big that they need to uploaded server-side
by a shell user).
But occasionally the best method to transfer the data will be sneakernet (post
office or another courier).
In the case of a physical shipment it should still be possible to use GWToolset
to generate the description pages, etc. for files which are connected directly
to a prod server. Does the extension need access to the files in order to
generate the description pages?
See Bug 68264 and Bug 67477 comment 13; I think it's currently impossible for a
disk to be hooked up directly to a server in a way that GWToolset could access
the files.
So I'm thinking maybe we could do the other way around: have GWToolset generate
batches of description pages that could then be used by the existing
[[mediawikiwiki:Manual:importImages.php]] process. (so the extension would not
itself be doing any uploads)
But I don't know enough about GWToolset to know if this is feasible.
