We are just beginning to give attention into our mobile editing edits
currently these are only available if you are logged in and have opt
into the beta/alpha versions [1] of any of the projects sites.

Currently photo upload only shows up when you visit a page which has
no photos in the lead section. Currently it shows up in other places
but a fix is on the way. It is also currently limited to Webkit
browsers so if any volunteers want to poke at the code and give us
greater coverage that would be awesome.

Feel free to try out the Commons:Sandbox [2] or similar simply delete
any existing images and give it a go.

I was talking to Maryana about creating a page where you can donate
images. I wrote a patch for this (yet to be merged) [3] that adds a
'donate image' link to the menu (I imagine in future this come be
incorporated into a user page some how). This would allow you to
upload images through your mobile device and then add them to articles
later. I think this would satisfy the Antoine Musso's of the world :)
