Have you taken a look at the Upload Campaigns we are using for WLM? Eg. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?campaign=wlm-es You will find a much nicer flow. > I tried to get people to upload to commons at our bootcamp > http://kosovoinnovations.org/yap/digital-bootcamp and it failed, we > had IP blocking of new users, we had the uploader failing, it was > horrible and a waste of time. You can request in advance an higher account creation limit if you are going to host a workshop. If you have a sysop there (which can be quite useful), they can also bypass it. > Ok, did you try running a workshop with 20 people in kosovo over a > slow internet connection? > for single people it is fine maybe, but we need to have a fast local > server. I am looking to get hosting on the local backbone. If you want to get many people to upload photos (eg. the results of doing a Wiki Takes) and you have just a small upstream bandwidth, I'd just collect them in a single system (eg. one folder per participant) and have the organization upload them later. _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
