[WikimediaMobile] Commons app (Android) update - v1.41

[Josephine Lim]

Hi all,


We're excited to announce that we've rolled out several updates and
bugfixes for the Commons Android app[1] over the past couple of months.
Some of the major ones include:

- Automatic addition of geocoding template if uploaded image is geotagged
- Category suggestions based on the title entered for the image
- New, more detailed tutorial to educate new contributors on what types of
images should or should not be uploaded (special thanks to Pine for sharing
his Commons educational script which was used as the basis for this)
- Check for whether or not the file already exists on Commons, to prevent
upload of duplicates

Additionally, the kind folks at translatewiki.net are helping us set up a
translation project for our app, so hopefully localization should improve
in the near future.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement thus far! Feedback, bug
reports, and suggestions are always welcome on our GitHub page[2]. :)

Thanks Zareen, it's great to see so much in-depth data!  Also, it answers
so many questions and curiosities from the past few months.

Yes, thanks so much for sharing this! It's fascinating and encouraging to
see the November impressions bump.
