At minimum, it would be good to look to the desktop UploadWizard for guidance
on how to communicate what is wanted, and what is required.
It's worthwhile to imagine yourself in a user's shoes (as I hope software
designers already do!) Imagine this:
* You have never heard of Wikimedia or Wikimedia Commons, but you like
Wikipedia, and downloaded the Commons app for Android because you saw it was
made by the same people.
* The app offers you, essentially, one feature: upload media.
* Where in the app's interface, even if you desperately WANTED to, could you
gain any insight into WHERE it is uploading to, WHY, or what is desired by that
mysterious entity?
I don't think there's any opportunity to learn these things. So are we
surprised that the uploads are mostly junk?
Are we concerned about the amount of volunteer effort it takes to process these
uploads?
Will the Wikimedia Commons app be taken out of the Android marketplace along
with the other Mobile Upload capability?
