FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM Android App v1.2.2 Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2012 16:13:45 -0700 From: Philip Chang <pchang(a)wikimedia.org> Reply-To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition <wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition <wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Greetings WLM Members, We have updated the app on Google Play <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlm> with some important fixes and enhancements. Here is a separate download link: _http://dumps.wikimedia.org/android/WLM-v1.2.2.apk_ Changes in this version: * Dynamically load campaign data - picks up campaign config changes without requiring a new version of the app * Camera and location features marked as optional to increase device compatibility * Localisation updates * Increased accuracy when communicating with GPS satellites * Disables 'Cancel upload' button when it is too late to cancel * Bigger touch areas for checkboxes * Moves {{Uploaded with WLM Mobile}} template to the source field on file page * Translated country name on monument page * Fixed admin level display * Strip bold/italic apostrophe markup from wikitext fields * 'Back' after upload no longer returns you to upload progress * Consistent photo upload comments * Cache monuments in certain situations to reduce API calls * Monument pin clustering disabled when zoomed in * Lossless image compression The app is now also available of the FOSS market, F-droid, at: _http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.wikipedia.wlm_ We are working on more fixes and enhancements, including a handy way to upload more photos on Commons. This will make any mobile upload a convenient placeholder for desktop uploads. Please let us know if you have any issues by email or on the feedback page <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Feedb…>. We have a new page for help with monument data issues: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Data… Phil -- Phil Inje Chang Product Manager, Mobile Wikimedia Foundation 415-812-0854 <tel:415-812-0854> m 415-882-7982 x 6810 <tel:415-882-7982%20x%206810>

Fwd: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Please put the mobile app banner on your country sites

Fyi, rexford could you have a look please? ---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Von: "Matthew Roth" <mroth(a)wikimedia.org> Datum: 05.09.2012 01:38 Betreff: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Please put the mobile app banner on your country sites An: "Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition" < wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Adding to Phil's note, I think only the International, Israeli and the U.S. sites are currently using a prominent button to encourage downloads of the Android app. If other countries want to do the same, I think it would be excellent. If you don't like the image used on the app with the lightning (I know someone found it too dark), we could do other images or no image at all. For the U.S. site, we substituted an image of the Golden Gate Bridge. http://wikilovesmonuments.us/ Anyway, please discuss any concerns with the design or anything else here and let us know if we can help facilitate more promotion of the app through the national sites. Couple of other stories in the past few days that mention the app: http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/4/3291159/wiki-loves-monuments-wikipedia-pho… http://venturebeat.com/2012/08/29/wikipedia-launches-worlds-largest-photo-c… thanks!

Grant drafting in progress
by Nkansah Rexford 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hello everyone, The Planning Wikimedia Ghana team is working on sending a proposal to the WMF for grant to work on a project we choose to call it in general as, "Ghana Welcomes Wikimedia". However, there are sub-projects to this umbrella project. The draft was recently moved to the Wikis on Meta http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Ghana/Ghana_Welcomes_Wikimedia Apply any needed corrections, additions and subtractions to the draft as it fits the WMF strategies. You can leave your comments on its talk page. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikimedia_Ghana/Ghana_Welc… Note: The budget for the project has not yet been added. I'm still working on it. You can help me by joining me on Google Drive so that we do the tweaking together. But, the file will go on the Wiki by close of friday. The grant proposal will be sent maximum by Sunday, so your immediate contribution is essential

Fwd: [Wiki Loves Monuments] The Wiki Loves Monuments App is here!
by Nkansah Rexford 31 Aug '12

For your information happy moment for androiders. Read message ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Philip Chang <pchang(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 00:38:19 -0700 Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] The Wiki Loves Monuments App is here! To: Wiki Loves Monuments Photograph Competition <wikilovesmonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Greetings Wiki Loves Monuments Community, The final release of the WLM Android App has been published on the Google Play store! We've made many improvements in the user interface and added some functional enhancements in the past week (and more are coming). Now is the time to download the app from Google Play and tell us if there are any issues before the contest starts in earnest. The main known issues have to do with data in the monument database and country-specific campaign configuration, which affect the way monuments can be found in some countries. We are happy to work with the country organizers on improving these issues, within the realm of what is possible. Here is the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.wlm This version uploads photos to Commons, so it is a good idea to upload photos of real monuments. Please write to us with any comments and give us a chance to make any last-minute fixes. We will update the release as fixes are made. Thank you for your cooperation and support, and let's make 2012 the best year ever! Best regards, The WMF Mobile Team -- Phil Inje Chang Product Manager, Mobile Wikimedia Foundation 415-812-0854 m 415-882-7982 x 6810
