This app enables mobile monument discovery and photo uploads for the first time, both in terms of mobile functionality overall and for the Wiki Loves Monuments contest.

Please turn on "Unknown sources" in Settings => Applications, click on the link below and install. Then go out and take lots of photos! Uploads will go to test wiki so feel free to upload whatever you like (and want to share with the world).

This is the first public release and is not quite feature-complete. Comments and bugs can go on this page:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Feedback

Please try the following:

* Browse by campaign (this will become browse by country/region/city)

* Sort the list by name and address

* Search with a search term

* Open a monument, click on "Get directions"

* Click on add a photo

* Login or create a Commons account

* Choose from gallery or take a photo

* Start uploading

* Go back to the opening screen

* Click on "Use my current location"

* Move around the map, open a cluster (a group of monuments close together)

* Click on a pin, open the monument

* Add a photo (login should be retained)

* Start uploading

Let us know what you think!

Known issues:

* Browse by country/region/city not fully implemented

* Full-text search is slow

* Map attribution is missing

* Sort by distance appears when browsing by country

* List view should have a "more" link when lists exceed 100 monuments

* Map view will have two types of pins to distinguish monuments with and without photos

* Upload later is not yet implemented

Please forward this email as appropriate.

Initial distribution: mobile-l, wmfall, internal-l, wikitech-l
