I tried to get people to upload to commons at our bootcamp http://kosovoinnovations.org/yap/digital-bootcamp and it failed, we had IP blocking of new users, we had the uploader failing, it was horrible and a waste of time. I need a solution that works and we can control and debug. also the wiki was running slow.
Mi experience was the total opposite, I talked recently with the top uploader from my country (Andrei_kokelburg, with 1366 images so far [and growing] currently the 6th global uploader) who is a *first time* Wikipedia contributor and tried to suggest him better tools like Commonist. His reply was the standard uploader is easy and good, he does not need anything else.
