As some of you are already aware, I'm doing for this GSoC a Desktop tool for conveniently uploading images to commons. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikilovesmonuments/2641
How can you help with this?
a) Propose a cool name for this tool
b) Suggest new functionalities/requisites Either on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Platonides/GSOC_proposal or in this thread.
c) Volunteer for testing the program and giving early feedback (please reply directly to avoid spamming the mailing list with "I can test it, too")
One thing I have done quite a bit of was Image modification. Everything from watermark removal to coping to rotating. When Im on a spur of watermark removal, it would be awesome if I could just point the program to a directory of fixed files, set a upload summary and have the bot upload those files keeping the existing file information. (that is the biggest drawback of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Tools/Commonist )

Oh, that's an interesting use case. Reuploads, where there's no need to provide upload metadata or license. That's not the primary target, but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!
I would name it Snuggle, so that it's in harmony with Huggle :)

How will it be different than the commonist? geotagging would be one big feature and the ability to group photos with common tags would be useful! mike

* Would be nice if the tool maintains a relationship between the file on disk, the metadata the user specified, and the file in Commons (or wherever). So: 1) you always know which files have been uploaded, which haven't etc 2) you can use the tool to edit metadata for files that have already been uploaded 3) (maybe) you can use the tool to edit metadata for files that weren't actually uploaded through the tool (but are under your user account, for example)
* "The user can change / add categories." - using appropriate drop-down choices from the target site.
* Can (configurably) use information such as directory name or accompanying text file to determine file name, description, etc.
I generally like the Commonist, so it should have most of that functionality.
