We've pushed some updates to UploadWizard, most
notably:
* disabled multiple-file selection in browsers where it didn't work
* files now start uploading immediately when selected (this can be disabled
server-side if there are problems with it)
* improved category input fields
* 'skip tutorial' step is now saved as a pref instead of a cookie -- so the
tutorial won't come back every time you switch computers anymore!
* fixes for when pre-upload thumbnails do and don't get drawn
* initial API for fetching upload campaign metadata
('action=uploadcampaign'), to be used by Wiki Loves Monuments mobile app
I don't know if anything changed with the license selector part of the code
and interface, but I tried uploading some maps (from OpenStreetMap) with
the upload wizard. More than once, I completely missed the license
selection part (e.g. not see it, not fill it out).
When I did find it, it was not intuitive. OSM maps are [still] CC-BY-SA
2.0 and I had to chose the "expert" option, and then go to the
Commons:Licensing page and then find link to the copyright tags page.
I don't necessarily mind this for the expert option, but since we know the
source is
openstreetmap.org (from what I put in the source field), wouldn't
it be nice if it automatically suggested CC-BY-SA 2.0 license. Or if the
source is .gov, then suggest public domain. [of course, also be able to
override it like a combo box]
Cheers,
Katie
