Upload To Commons is an app for Android users to conveniently upload pictures taken from their devices.
The app was created by Wikimedia, then abandoned for a while, and is now trying to resurface as a community-maintained effort.
The project is to fix a few existing bugs and implement a new feature: Show nearby categories (for easier and more reliable categorization)
