[Commons-l] iPhone upload problem

[Magnus Manske]

Problem:
* > 2 million iPhone users
* built-in camera plus "always-on" network connection = ideal Commons
shoot-and-upload tool
* but : upload to Commons from iPhone doesn't work (can't chose local
file on iPhone)

However: You can email photos you have taken quite easily. Should we
establish some service around that?

Like:
* log into Commons (once)
* mail image from iPhone to selfupload at commons.wikimedia.org (or whatever)
* get emailed back a URL with your (temporary) file in a form, pre-filled:
** File name is title of your mail
** Description is the body of your mail
** GFDL and CC-BY-SA-3.0 chosen (self-made)
** Author field is a link to your user name (you're logged in, after all)
** Date is extracted from EXIF data
** Coordinates are pre-filled if you had the iPhone add the GPS data
** OTRS can be automatically filed and added to the form

Would also be useful for non-iPhone uploads...
