Mike, this app will be a sort of prototype for general photo upload functionality in our mobile site and WIkipedia apps.
If you'd like to help us, you are more than welcome ;-)

It hangs when talking to the satellites here in Oz. Probably because OZ isnt part of WLM?.. :(
It would be good to have a generic Commons uploader app, with WLM app built as a front-end on top.

Hi John,
The map view takes a couple of tries sometimes. Some bugs are still present.
We do intend to develop general upload functionality in the mobile site and apps, and this app is a first step in that direction.
Tomasz responded earlier about the source:

Hi John,

Or because we're still using the Toolserver as a backend in this beta.
It would be good to have a generic Commons uploader app, with WLM app built as a front-end on top.
We're doing it the other way around. First we build an app for WLM. Based on that experience a more general app will be build.

Sounds like a nasty bug. I'm pretty sure I can replicate this and know what's causing it but yes.. essentially it is due to a lack of monuments in your area :-(
