UploadWizard/Prototype TODO

Things to do to make Commons prototype ready for Calcey or other testers
commons.prototype.wikimedia.org

Prep environment
Current plan is to use /uwd as a hybrid test platform -- it will draw its UploadWizard extension from trunk, but the core changes will be from the uploadwizard-deployment branch created by RoanKattouw. (NeilK)

Fix missing templates
Template:Information and others seem to still be missing from the prototype wiki (or were somehow lost)? (guillaume)


 * Seems to work, based on the highly scientific method consisting of hitting Special:Random/File a few dozen times. guillom 23:26, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Choose test media files
They will need some sample images, sounds, and movies. Assuming we still keep InstantCommons on to ensure that images in templates still work, we will need some files from sources that are not on Commons. (guillaume)

Put them into this test plan:

Purging
(NeilK)

Our uploading functions make it difficult to reuse media files since we test for uniqueness. Previously the programmers have worked around this issue by temporarily disabling such checks, or writing programs which generated random images and media files for every test. For a repeatable standardized test it makes more sense to have some way to purge the wiki of all local files.
