Add automatic Djvu generation to the IA Upload tool
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The Internet Archive is no longer generating Djvu files, so the folks on WikiSource don't have a web interface for generating them any more. Per T154538, we should add Djvu generation to the existing IA Upload tool to address this problem.

Current interface: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/commons/init
Testing interface: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ia-upload/test/commons/init

Once the new version is live, please document it somewhere discoverable (or update existing documentation).

kaldari updated the task description. (Show Details)

Tool homepage is here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:IA_Upload
And I'll add a toolinfo.json file as well https://github.com/wikisource/ia-upload/issues/22

It should also be linked from various places on Commons and Wikisource; will investigate what's missing.

Samwilson moved this task from In Development to Q1 2018-19 on the Community-Tech-Sprint board.

The new DjVu generation feature is now on the production site, the tool is registered on the tool directory, and a few mentions of it updated on the English and Multilingual Wikisources.
