The WMF agreed to do this in principle [so long as it did not use too much in the way of developer time] at the last Wikimania. Perhaps I should reach out to the WMF and remind them of this commitment?

Hello! I will be in Wikimania, I have other presentation plans, but I can help you with this, if there's appetite.

Just a quick heads up. I am seriously considering putting in a presentation application to talk about this subject (the need for 3D support on Commons/Wikipedia) at this year's Wikimania. I just wanted to know if anyone here is interested in joining me on that application? I feel even more strongly now on this issue than I did back in 2020 when I first commented on this issue.

@Spinster : "most models are only interesting with textures."

Thanks for the ping on this. I must really get onto it. Been distracted by the stuff going on in parliament these days.

It seems people on Wikimedia-l (myself included) would have decided that one month is too soon to close the Wiki and it has been requested that this only happens in July 2019.

Hi revi, thank you for activating it and thank you again Martin for looking into this for us so quickly. I have just uploaded the photographs I have. I am okay with disabling this function within 24 hours but then I can contact you in a few days time to reactivate it? We have one plenary speaker that still has not given us a biography picture yet. We are still trying to follow up with her.

Thanks looking into this Martin. I am not a sysmop or very familiar with Phabricator so I hope I have lodged this request correctly. Monday would be okay but sooner would be better if possible. I suppose it is not an emergency but it is urgent as the sooner we get this up the sooner we can fix this issue for Wikimania attendees and the bigger and better an impact we will have in the media for the event.

Hello, URGENT request.

Douglas here, local organising team head for Wikimania 2018, I just want to repeat Ellie's request to move ahead with the creation of wikimania2018.wm.o

Thanks Brion!
