| GLAMwiki Toolset |
|---|
GWToolset users are users who are able to use the GLAMWikiToolset extension to mass upload pictures from GLAM institutions to Commons.
The user community had an open email group to exchange information about projects, best practices, improvement of the tool (including discussion to prioritize the resolution of reported bugs) and user documentation. There is a Steering Group composed of experienced Wikimedia Commons batch uploaders, Wikimedia Chapter funding representatives and the project team (current partners are Europeana), which has oversight of project development, acting as sprint reviews during active development, and discusses future proposals related to the toolset.
The Steering Group has a closed email list, meetings are held by video-conferencing several times a year, and etherpad minutes are published of past meetings, see the Project pages.
- See requesting rights for information on gaining access to the toolset.
- See the extension documentation for further information.
