On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 2:05 PM, Rodrigo Padula <rodrigopadula(a)wikimedia.org Currently we're not planning a version of the Commons uploader app. Photo uploading works in Firefox via the mobile web site, though it's not quite as flexible -- eg you can't edit your photo descriptions while offline and then upload a bunch online... yet. :) There's less need for a separate app on Firefox OS, as the regular web browser actually can interact with other apps on the system (eg to launch another app, or fetch a photo from the library, etc). So in the future, we'll probably have more 'progressive enhancement' with additional uploading & media features in supporting browsers, and that'll get rolled into our "app" entry in the Firefox Marketplace replacing the current Wikipedia reader app. (The Commons uploader apps may or may not eventually roll into the main Wikipedia app on iOS and Android too, we haven't decided for sure yet.) -- brion > > > > 2013/8/20 Risker <risker.wp(a)gmail.com> > > > On 20 August 2013 16:57, Brion Vibber <bvibber(a)wikimedia.org> > > > > We have just released Commons for iOS (version 1.0.8) and Android > > > (1.0beta11), with *major* UI and performance improvements on iOS and > > minor > > > bug fixes on Android. > > > > > > This is our first release in a couple months on iOS -- we hoped to have > > one > > > out before Wikimania but were delayed due to problems with Apple's > online > > > developer tools being offline for a while.

But it'll take some time to redo the overall UI of Commons on the desktop to not be awful ;) and there's always a different set of capabilities available to us on different platforms. Note that UploadWizard provides much similar functionality in uploading on the desktop (but with poor offline batching and no direct camera support, and for large batch uploads there are some usability issues). A similar view of your uploads to what the Commons app gives can be gotten on the desktop by jumping through a couple hoops -- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyFiles -- and a more direct analog is integrated and linked from the sidebar on mobile web -- try https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Uploads ... In the future, there'll be more and more convergence as the browsers improve support for native device functions and offline storage. -- brion
