Hi all,
Thanks for your feedback, Steinsplitter. I have responded to your post at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Commons_Android_app_... , so it might be best to continue our conversation there instead of duplicating it here.
Gerard, was your post directed at me or at Steinsplitter? Am a bit confused.
I do agree with Chris; I don't think there should be any need to argue over which project should have #1 priority. AFAIK several grants are awarded every round, not just one, and there are multiple rounds every year.
Best regards, Josephine

Hoi, High priority is in the eyes of the beholder.. I want the quality of Wikipedia to improve [1] and have a plan how to achieve that in a measurable way. For me it seems that quality has no priority even though the problem I address is real enough and even though there have not been any flaws discovered in my reasoning. Your proposal is too abstract for me and consequently I do not understand why it should have a priority.
Also there is plenty of money to go around. Thanks, GerardM

To be honest, i am a bit concerned about https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Grants:Project/Improve_%27Upload_to_Commons%27_ Android_App/Renewal#Budget_breakdown
I think we should spend money for high-priority tasks such as building a copyright detection tool for mp3 files (which are coming soon), etc.
Needless to say that most people on commons are not getting payed for building tools[1].

Edit: Sorry for the lack of clarity in my previous post - the link to the renewal proposal is https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Grants:Project/Improve_%27Upload_to_Commons%27_Android_App/Renewal
.
The other metawiki link is for the old/completed grant.
