Help test Mobile media uploads to Commons
editThe Mobile team at Wikimedia Foundation has made it possible to upload media files directly to Wikipedia Commons from mobile devices, via both the mobile web site and by way of our mobile applications for Android and iPhone.
This is an exciting development, but given the wild diversity of hardware and software on today's mobile devices, we need your help to make the media upload experience as good as it can be for as many people as we can reach.
On 25 February 2013 we are kicking off a community test event for mobile file uploads. For the entire week we are providing extraordinary support via IRC, mail lists, talk pages, social media, and of course the mobile web for everyone who would like to help us evaluate the process of uploading media files to Wikipedia Commons.
If you would like to help us test and improve the experience of contributing media files to Wikipedia Commons on mobile devices, please take a look at the test activities we suggest, and let us know what you find out!
