Commonist is easy to use (ok, when you have the proper Java version, in other case it is a nightmare to setup). It has also a "online" version.

I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel here.

Dear List,
as we all are well aware, mass upload for Wiki Loves Monuments has so
far been a tough thing to do, especially for the new and inexperienced
participants of the contest.

Wikimedia Foundation developers have done a great job on preparing &
fixing UploadWizard and enabling UploadCampaigns that we used in
September. Unfortunately, UploadWizard has a small but important flaw,
which is, of course, its limitation to only 10 files that can be
uploaded simultaneously, and the lack of an at least semi-automated
upload method (preparing descriptions is a true pain).

Following a discussion I've recently had, I would like to ask someone
of you to create a simplified version of Commonist or another
easy-to-use, preferably Java-based (or at least Windows-friendly) mass
upload tool for use by the participants of the national contests. Here
are some proposed requirements and ideas for such a programme (hint: I
am not a programmer, so feel free to suggest your own ideas!):

* Would need to be as similar to the UploadCampaign as possible:
** No need to choose the wiki (Wikimedia Commons set by default);
** No need to choose the licence/permission (Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 by default);
** No need to insert the source (should be set as {{own}} by default);
** No need to choose categories (will be dealt with by templates);
** No need to insert coordinates (could be taken from EXIF data);

Instead:
* The programme should allow to insert the ID of the monument;
* It should have the WLM logo somewhere;
* It should be as much localisable as possible;
* More?

Possible features:
* It should have some hard-coded (but localisable) information on the
rules of contest or the licence;
* An "info" tab (with a basic FAQ or some links) would be a plus.
* Sexiness (i.e. easy-to-use and shiny) would be a plus.
* More?

If there is a volunteer somewhere willing to work on this, please
don't hesitate to raise your hand! And if you know some friendly Java
programmers out there, please share the news. Or if you have any
ideas, suggestions or features for such a programme - please share
them with us, and I'll move them to the wiki so they do not get lost
in the meantime.

Regards,
