International Programmes
Toolserver
| Amount: | £10,000 | Budget holder: | Mike Peel | Details and implementation notes |
|---|
We will continue to support the Wikimedia Toolserver, which is operated by Wikimedia Deutschland, throughout this financial period. The Toolserver is widely used by the Wikimedia community to enable automated editing, statistics and other tools to keep Wikipedia running smoothly. This support will be provided via a grant to Wikimedia Deutschland.
Europeana mass upload tool project
| Amount: | £60,000 | Budget holder: | Fæ | Details and implementation notes |
|---|
We are supporting the development of a Toolserver/MediaWiki extension that provides the facility to upload media files en mass to the Wikimedia projects - specifically content that is provided via content partnerships from partner organisations. The development of this extension is being led by Europeana, and is being financially supported by the budgets of other Wikimedia chapters, and is also being supported by the Wikimedia Foundation to ensure that the resulting code is deployed on the Wikimedia projects.
This is a strategically important project on the basis that it aims to remove the bottleneck constraining the expansion of Wikimedia Commons that is due to the lack of an appropriate facility to upload and appropriately categorize significant quantities of media files (i.e. upload batches in excess of 100 files) to the project. This project was started in 2012, and is expected to conclude in 2014 with the successful deployment of the extension to the Wikimedia projects.
WikiConference UK 2013
| Amount: | £5,200 | Budget holder: | Chief Executive | Details and implementation notes |

WikiConference UK 2013 will combine our Annual General Meeting with general conference consisting of a series of presentations about the Wikimedia projects and chapter activities, following up on the success of our 2012 conference. It will be held outside of London.
