Without spending too much time can someone point me to a rationale why the app was sunset in the first place.

IIRC the plan was to introduce a framework to allow campaigns to happen similar to the wiki loves monuments app.

From a user behavior perspective, selecting lead images and uploading images from nearby are very real opportunities that we want to bring into native apps. Its a matter of having all the questions answered. Our experience from commons will be useful, making this a V2 attempt.

Some thoughts:

- We can prevent noise (face detection, location awareness, exif data) on apps better than we did on mobile web.
- Lets think of smart phones cameras as one of our key channels for increasing media content on articles.
- Media plays an important role in learning, while it is a low barrier to entry and gives contributors rich immediate feedback.

Just like lead images, we have the time now to start preparing for this contribution.

Thanks

From the README:

"Wikimedia Foundation doesn't care anymore, but we do."

Maybe we can fold some of the Commons functionality into the main app as we ramp up contribution flows?

That's incredible. I'd hoped to see something like this happen, and I'm glad it did. :-)

Hi everyone,

The old Commons mobile app got forked, see https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/commons-reloaded/id962894692?mt=8 and https://github.com/lyrk/Commons :-)
