Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Android] Picture of the Day Wallpaper
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Heya all,
I was searching the Android Market, when I stumbled upon this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.practicalapps.android.wallpaper.wikimedia
It's called Picture of the Day Wallpaper
From the market page:

Beautiful daily photos from Wikimedia Commons scroll across your desktop.

Live Wallpaper which displays the Picture Of The Day posted by Wikimedia Commons, an public domain media file repository (commons.wikimedia.org).

Each day a different glorious image from the Wikimedia Commons image library is automatically downloaded and added to the scrolling rotation of the last six images.

A convenient shortcut to the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Day webpage is provided on the initial application and preferences screens. A preference setting is also provided to control the image scroll speed and position of the image title.

To install this animated wallpaper, launch the application icon or long-click on your phone's desktop, then select Wallpapers, then select Live wallpapers.

All images are credited to NASA (NASA.gov)

That last line worries me a bit. Are all photos credited to NASA, irrespective of who uploaded it?
OR
Are all photos of the Day by NASA, thereby giving others no chance for a front page visit?
