Hi Krishna,

Wikimedia Commons app crashes a lot and it requires huge amount of patience to upload image there sometimes, that's why it is not suitable for the competition. Also, as Philip pointed out it does not prefill data.

As I requested earlier in the help desk, it would be better if WLM international team could invest resources to develop separate WLM focused app. 

Regards,

Hi Krishna,

which data is this based on and how will the campaign data be filled from the android app? As far as I'm aware, there's no automatism to prefill said data and it would be quite an additional burden on volunteers to have to sift through pictures uploaded via the app that are missing categories and descriptions that are otherwise prefilled.

If the source used is indeed Wikidata, at least in Austria that data hasn't been accurate ever since Wikimania Montreal.

BR,

Philip

Subject: WLM integration in Commons app

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you all know that we are planning to implement WLM integration into the Commons app (an Android app for users to upload photos to Commons) in the near future. :) Due to the current situation, we are unable to provide concrete estimates for when it will be completed, however I can say that September is unlikely, November might be possible, and in the worst case scenario it will certainly be done by 2021.

In the next month or two, I hope to be able to provide more details and a clearer timeline, and we will also start taking suggestions from organizers etc for desired features at that stage. I will post an update here as soon as possible.

We look forward to working with all of you to make WLM participation easier. :)

Best regards,
Josephine / User:misaochan (Commons app project lead)
