Great, well I will take a look at this. I hope that it could be used also for a general commons tool. thanks, mike On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 6:03 AM, Tomasz Finc <tfinc(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

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 ;-) Phil Great, well I will take a look at this. I hope that it could be used also for a general commons tool. thanks, mike On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 6:03 AM, Tomasz Finc <tfinc at wikimedia.org <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l>> wrote:

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. Is the source available? On Aug 2, 2012 3:19 PM, "Philip Chang" <pchang(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

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:

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. Maarten

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 :-( Have opened a bug = https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38983
