dear all,

as some of you may already know, the GLAMwiki Toolset Project, 
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Toolset_project, is a collaboration 
between Wikimedia Nederland, Wikimedia UK, Wikimedia France and Europeana, with 
the goal of providing a set of tools to get materials from GLAM institutions 
onto Wikimedia Commons in a way that reuse can easily be tracked, and that 
Commons materials can easily be integrated back into the collection of the 
original GLAM or even other GLAMs.

as part of our initial goal of creating a GLAM Upload System, we are looking to 
gather Wikimedia community input on the proposed architecture and technologies. 
if you have time and interest, please take a look and let us know your 
thoughts,

with kind regards,

Hi Dan,

I have a few questions about the choice of the Zend Framework:
* Why exactly using the Zend Framework?
would like to use an open-source mvc framework that is used widely, has strong 
community support, and several modules that may be used for current and future 
development rather than develop or use a custom or less widely used mvc 
framework

* Do we really need such a dependency?
the code will be dependent on some type of mvc framework - either custom, less 
or widely used

* Do we have this framework installed on the Wikimedia servers?
not sure, but the gwtoolset will be used on a wikimedia labs instance, not on a 
wikimedia server. the gwtoolset will have a browser ui that allows glams to 
upload their metadata, match it to mediawiki templates and then upload the 
result to commons.wikimedia.org using the mediawiki api

I thought the lab instance was only an incubation environment and that the final goal was to put gwtoolset on the WMF prod. servers. Isn't it?

Emmanuel
