Hi all, Well I've finally bitten the bullet. Unfortunately the CSIRO metadata format wasn't compatible with GLAMtools, so I've written a scraping script. The images are now getting uploaded to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_from_CSIRO_ScienceImage
I'm not great at clever-auto-categorization, so nearly all the categories are redlinks based on CSIRO keywords, so any help categorizing these properly would be much appreciated. There are some fantastic images here - please start using them in wiki. Thanks for communicating with them regarding their metadata Liam. I promise I'll use GLAMtoolkit next time!
