I have questions. I have a project I just prepared for DP - another EB page set. It is now just beginning proofreading. I have low expectations that, if I leave things to follow their normal course, the images will ever arrive at PG. How do I upload the images to PG? The project won't complete the DP project cycle for another several years, over which time the image set can only decay ... and I may not be around. Can I upload images for pages already in the cycle? Can I upload fixes for images already uploaded? Can I find out which projects have uploaded images? Or more importantly, which ones don't? What is being done to transfer images from DP to PG? Can they just be uploaded based on project ids, or do they need to be checked over, and possibly renamed (and by whom, and where, and how?) Some of these are DP questions, I know. Who is responsible? What are the plans? On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 11:13 AM, Jana Srna <jana.srna@gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks, Al, that's very helpful!
Now there's just one little detail missing that I can think of off-hand: How do I access PG's /incoming folder? What's the URL or IP for the FTP server? Does anonymous access work?
Thanks for bearing with all my questions!

My suggestions, Greg to clarify as needed:
For new submissions:
Name the folder "page-images", and include it in the new project's zip file. The WWers can prefix the name with the assigned etext number. The folder should not be inside the normal /images folder.
The usual procedure for past large submissions is that the entire submission be FTPed to PG's /incoming folder, then a small placeholder file be uploaded the normal way, which will notify the WWers. (FTPing a file doesn't notify the WWers.) Mention in the Note to Whitewashers field the name of the uploaded file.
Do *NOT* create a folder for your FTPed file. There's no need if you're uploading a zip file with a unique name, and the WWers can't delete the folder anyway (the files in the folder, yes; the folder itself, no).
For an existing etext:
Name the zip file "nnnnn-page-images.zip", where nnnnn is the etext number, then upload via FTP, as above. The zip file should contain a folder, also named "nnnnn-page-images", not just the page scans themselves. Notify the WWers by emailing "pgww@...", mentioning the name of the zip file and that it's for an existing etext.
