Do you use WikiShootMe the map tool? Have you forked WikiShootMe (e.g. for a WLM campaign)?
It's not easy to maintain forks of WikiShootMe. Also, a more focused tool could be easier to use on a phone and our campaigns could get more new contributors.
Ideas of the re-implementation:
- A simple frontend JavaScript app
- Customisable for use cases similar to WLM campaigns (simple for new users to upload images)
- Quick and light on the phone by using vector tiles for loading the map data
- Login to Commons and Wikidata using OAuth
Potential users:
- WLM campaigns including Finland, Uruguay, Estonia
- Other upload campaigns
- Other specialised tools where the Commons Upload Wizard is not suitable (WMAR's Cartografías Abiertas)
- Tools that want to link to a more customisable upload functionality than the Upload Wizard, e.g. https://wdlocator.toolforge.org/
Competing (and complementary?) approaches:
- Improve the campaign functionalities of the native Commons apps (Android and iOS)
- Improve the Commons Upload Wizard
- Create a new upload wizard for Commons campaigns
Metrics:
- More new contributors from campaigns
- More campaigns in more countries
