Eric,

Our experience with the upload wizard has been great. Its extremely useful and newbie editors are finding it easy to use. There was a slight hitch with customising it though.  Commons hasnt yet decided the procedure for giving the "upload campaign editor" rights. Our requests for rights were denied because there is no community approved procedure for it yet. We had to take the help of a commons admin for the customisation. Apart from that the campaign customised wizard is perfect for competitions/scavenger hunts like ours.

This is wonderful, good luck. Please let us know about your experience
with Upload Wizard.

I noticed that Upload Wizard isn't fully localized into Tamil yet. Any
Tamil speaker can help localize it on translatewiki.net. These are the
missing translations:
