Greetings,
Thank you for your work on this and interest in this year's GSOC.
Have you had a chance to write up a proposal on the MW.org wiki? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GSOC#Student_applications
It would be helpful, just to avoid confusion, what OSes you plan to support once completed.

Hello all, I'm presenting a GSOC proposal for a native desktop application designed for mass uploading files on upload campaigns.
This follows the call by Odder at [1] for such a tool, and indeed the scope of the tool would be tailored to WikiLovesMonuments.
The deliverable is such an application, which shall be:
- A tiny autocontained program (probably in C++), with
different versions for each target operating system.
- Configurable defaults for uploading to Wikimedia Commons
own images as cc-by-sa with given templates and categories.
- The user shall be able to change the license / categories
if needed.
- Request the monument id for the image.
- Validation of the monument identifier through a web
service if available and time permits.
- Basic documentation of the competition (rules and FAQ)
- Contains the WLM logo somewhere.
- Localisable through translatewiki.net for at least the
28 countries of [2]
- Save configuration of images description for later upload.
- Asynchronous upload of the images in the background.
Opinions? Improvements? Sexy names? Mentors?
All of them are welcome!
