User talk:MarkTraceur/More general frontend uploading tools

Thanks!
Hi Mark. Thanks for preparing this draft, much appreciated! I like the way you are thinking about refactoring the Upload Wizard to make it more usable by other tools. I think this is a good direction to aim for, though I lack the technical expertise to comment on the specific implementation details. I defer to other engineering team members to discuss those technical aspect.

From a product management and resource allocation standpoint, we committed to spend a few sprints each quarter to work on the Upload Wizard, so our goal would be to focus on incremental refactoring goals, starting in the places where there is the greatest need. So we may want to break up this plan into discrete chunks that can be staggered over time. That’s because we have other projects in the pipeline that will also need our attention.

Thanks again for doing this, and I look forward to comments from others. Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 18:19, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
