Hi all, I've been working on a project to improve the categorization of pictures in the Upload to Commons Android app https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115101 as part of the Outreachy Dec '15 program, which is soon drawing to an end. To summarize, 3 new features have been implemented in this app:
1. If a picture with geolocation is uploaded, nearby category suggestions are offered (based on the categories of other Commons images with similar coordinates)
2. If a picture with no geolocation is uploaded, nearby category suggestions are offered based on the user's current location. This is optional and only works if enabled in Settings.
3. Category search (when typing in the search field) has been made more flexible, whereas previously this was done solely by prefix search. E.g. now searching for 'latte' should be able to return 'iced latte'.
The latest version of the app is v1.11 and can be downloaded at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.free.nrw.commons. Please feel free to leave feedback or bug reports at https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/apps-android-commons/issues.
I have had an amazing time working on this app as part of the Outreachy program, and I greatly appreciate all the support and help that the WMF community has given me. :)
Cheers!
