[Foundation-l] Wikimedia Commons & Single Sign On

Tue May 4 06:27:24 UTC 2004

I have created a more detailed proposal on the Wikimedia Commons (shared  
media wiki):

http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Commons

I have added a mock-up of a redesigned upload form which addresses the  
copyright issue, IMHO in a smarter way than the simple multiline upload  
form that is currently active on test.wikipedia.org.

The page also includes an implementation strategy for single sign-on. If  
we implement the commons, that would also be the logical time to implement  
SSO, as the requirements are related and the Commons would obviously  
benefit from it.

I hope we can move forward with this, but I need volunteers:
* people who are willing to help with the implementation
* people who improve the proposal and related documents
* people who spread the word about this proposal and get other people  
involved.

If you think you can do any of this, or anything else, please add your  
name in the "Who wants to help?" section. If I have to do it alone I'll do  
it, but in that case I won't do single sign-on and most of the advanced  
stuff that is discussed on the page.

If we do this together, I suggest adding the relevant changes to the  
MediaWiki roadmap for 1.4.

Regards,

Erik
