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!
