Trinh,

Thank you for your GSOC proposal! Between now and Google's deadline of April 6th (when you'll need to submit via their site as well) - you're welcome to make more modifications to your proposal.

I actually think you did a great job of concisely explaining what you'd like to do. If you have any more info on the how - it would be great. Does Flickr have APIs and other tools for this (I assume so) or will these need to be developed from scratch?

Also, have you been in touch with folks operating similar tools on toolserver or at Commons?

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for your comment. There are Flickr APIs available for Java,
JavaScript, and other languages. I have used them to get images from Flickr.
I have never been in touch with folks on toolserver or at Commons.

It would be awesome to have a proper Flickr upload system. For some
inspiration take a look at [1], which has been used up to now quite
extensively on Commons. I hope that I soon will able to shut that
service down finally.
