JavaScript in-browser vectorial image drawing

http://www.cumulatelabs.com/cumulatedraw/
Similar to Google docs & spreadsheets, allows you to draw vectorial 
images in your browser using only JavaScript.

Currently it can only open files created with the same application (and 
saving failed for me :S). Under Cc-by-nc-sa license.

I assume it is for finding images without language tags like {{en}}.

On Friday I created a js function to insert links that help you by asking you for a translation or by putting
{{lang|}} around a selected text (firefox only).

Maybe you want to take a look at the functions show_infobox() and insert_translation() at 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Flominator/flos_functions.js

Someone, I believe it was Magnus, wrote SumItUp which collects the first sentences of an article in all
available languages. Maybe someone could write a tool, that uses CheckUsage in order to retrieve image
descriptions from wikipedia articles.

Regards,

Flo

There used to be a bot that did that... it copied any caption the
image was given in any Wikipedia to its Commons page. Haven't noticed
it on my watchlist for a while so probably it's having a bot sleep.
Let's make sure we don't re-invent the wheel, folks :)

To Bryan, if people want to provide captions they would probably
prefer to be able to pick a topic to do it for rather than just
random. So get people to supply a keyword, find the closest category
via CommonSense and just go through all the images in that category.

Put the following stuff into your monobook.js:

includePage('User:Flominator/flos functions.js');
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {

 insert_link_before("li", "pt-mycontris", '<a href="http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/mynoinfo.php?user=Flominator">Info-Tag</a>');
 show_infobox();
}, false);

This is a version only for de and en but if you use a modified function show_infobox you can customize it.

I'm sorry for the lack in usability but I didn't know how to make it better.

Regards,

Flo

Hm, I didn't post this link to commons-l...
http://wikicanvas.com/
Java-based wiki in-browser SVG editing.

Not our favourite choice, but I don't think the tool license has any
bearing on the copyright status of any work created using that tool.
(You probably know that, but just to make things clear.)
