Copying in from my email:
I wanna emphasize that i'm not giving up here because it's "hard" - but that given how much trouble we've had with this, and how much time we've sunk into it, I want to spend a little time evaluating options before diving into a protracted process.
Up to 2gb file uploads using Flash are available with this module: http://drupal.org/project/swfupload. YouTube allows up to 2gb uploads. This might alternatively be used for multiple file upload of each file.
yeah... see my response in the other thread. I think you're right, its not worth it- pain in the ass with little benefit, especially to slow internet users. we'll make manual sorting instructions.

Funny random idea..... what about multiple user sorting on the same web page using different keys on the keyboard? What different people would use the keys QWE,ZXC,IOP,BNM for each of 4 separate images, (like multi player Goldeneye). Or a local version of the same thing; a desktop application so you don't have to upload but you still get the benefit of multiple people working on it at the same time.

hypr3d.com makes me much more optimistic about a multipart-file upload system where you select many individual images (we could allow only JPG images, no zips or folders) and it just tries to upload them all as fast as possible in a giant web form. hypr3d.com actually works OK! I could move the file storage onto Amazon S3 so we don't have to worry about how much storage people are using.
closing due to MapMill 2: https://github.com/publiclab/mapmill
(it currently requires PLOTS staff contact, which is a bottleneck)
is there a way to provide a web -form upload system, so that users can get going on Mapmill without PLOTS staff contacts, or making people learn to use FTPs?
