Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Android] Picture of the Day Wallpaper
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)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.w…
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<http://www.google.com/url?q=http://commons.wikimed…
).
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?
