Random proposal ►◄ Wikisource The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

IIIF support

Problem: Currently Commons does not have a mechanism to provide high-quality image support, and while there are high quality IIIF sources available there are concerns over user data privacy and loading of third-party content that limit the adoption of these sources.
Proposed solution: Provide/Implement a IIIF server either via Commons or as a ToolForge/WMcloud hosted tool that is able to provide IIIF support for the ProofreadPage zooming and panning interface via a gadget interface.
Who would benefit: Wikisource editors, GLAM partners

I wonder what it'd take to implement this in Thumbor? It was requested once, in 2016. Sam Wilson 07:33, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be very nice if we can get support for at least the base api, to provide tiling etc. Even for Support 360 photo viewing support for tiling is a requirement we probably cannot go without. Thumbor with an additional /iiif/ endpoint providing support for the Image API would in my opinion be very interesting. Implementing region/size/rotation/quality/format etc should all be relatively doable with existing thumbor and imagemagick functionality (even though we have not implemented any of those thumbor apis for our own plugins yet). I think it would bring lots of benefits to the movement at large and for Commons, GLAM and wikisource in particular. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 14:18, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For wikisource specifically, the presentation api might also be interesting, as it allows you to describe a book for instance. There is a nice api example in the specification of that. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 14:25, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
