Well, For me the goal is to collect media about the area under a commons license. I am not interested in teaching people to read, because most of them dont. there is just too much text on commons for people to read, they dont understand or have the patience. It is not the commons suck, it is just at too high a level for the users that I am dealing with. We have tried to get translators, it is just too much for them.
I remember there was an Isrealis project of collecting old photos and then upload them to Commons via local server. Maybe they can share some code with you?
By the way - such a server side collecting photo software would be usefull not only for WLM but also in many other cases - for example during cooperation with GLAM Institutions.
Maybe you will find interesting a Vicunia uploader:

It is probably still too sophisticated - but it let collect photos and add metadata off-line, save metadata as an xml file in a folder together with pictures and then upload files later.
thanks, a bit like the commonist. I will check it out, I am looking for an intermedia web server solution and maybe a super simple client app or just a web front end. mike
