Hello! New beta release of commons app went out today!
Features of v1.0 beta 6 include:
## v1.0 beta 6 - Add categorization - Add a 'Modifications Sync' framework for doing eventual-consistent page edits - More consistent designb between single and multiple upload - i18n updates
You can now add categories to your uploads, both single and multiple uploads! They will be 'eventually consistent' - the categories aren't saved immediately as you hit the 'save' button but will be saved on next sync, whenever Android decides that is.
We're getting closer to a full v1.0 release - user account creation and a bit more polish ought to do it.
Bug reports welcome at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Commons%20App (pick the Android component).
Pull requests welcome at https://github.com/wikimedia/android-commons
Thank you!

Is there a description, screenshot, mockup or whatever of the category thing? Is it similar to the UploadWizard's? Are all users encouraged to add a category? Apps are powerful and power comes with responsibility. ;-) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Categorization_stats_-_2013-01-24.png

The Android app heavily encourages categorizing, though it is not a 'required' step - users are offered the opportunity to categorize right after hitting the 'upload' button, and we are collecting statistics on how many people categorize and how many skip.
There are mockups but they are not very accurate. I'll see if I can make a video or screenshots shortly..
