i am lost in sites, when i upload a picture where it must go? in *.wikipedia.org or in commons.wikimedia.org? i didn't understand... another thing is that to take the token the user must be logged, and i have seen that every country has got different logins, for examples: my login of it.wikipedia.org is different than en.wikipedia.org... so the user must choose first the domain where want to log and after take the token to upload the contents...
Thank's for attenction, Simo
This is a good question. Simone sent it to me privately, and it occurred to me that the answer was sufficiently non-obvious that I asked him to report to wikitech-l.
In looking at this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_upload
...it seems as though uploading to Commons is the preferred option. Is that right?

I think that is true unless you want to upload a "fair use image", that is not allowed on commons but is on some wikipedia sites like the English. Diederik Sent from my iPhone

Ah, right.
So I think that means "use commons for the pic upload challenge". Since the point of this challenge is to make it easy for users to upload pics they took themselves, and thus will be able to declare the license at time of upload. Thanks Diederik.

Images should go to Wikimedia Commons ( http://commons.wikimedia.org ) Remember to specify the license.

Not exactly. They are different accounts, but they are linked through Single User Login (aka SUL), so when you browse from it.wikipedia.org to en.wikipedia.org you would continue being logged in, and even get an account autocreated if needed (unless you unchecked that checkbox on the login page).
That said, your app requeriments may vary. For instance, an extension could be bundling its own images, whereas that wouldn't be practical for a javascript gadget.
Also, was the login question related to you app? I don't think you should be processing logins...
thank's for help, but here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:First_steps/Upload_form I read that to upload contents the users must be logged, so how can I manage the upload without a login?

You can't. You need to create an account in Wikimedia Commons [1] in order to upload a file there. If you already have an account at another wikimedia site (eg. it.wikipedia), just use your user and password and it should work.
