Welcome to the flickr-uploader wiki!

This program is going to be the best Flickr upload client for Android. Right now, it works well enough to upload a photo (if you let it finish), but there is still a ways to go before it is perfected.. If you are interested in helping with the look and feel, testing or coding, please contact me at: web@cibomahto.com
Known bugs are listed at Bugs. The initial project notes (not maintained) are at Initial brainstorming notes

Milestone 1: (completed 1/16/2009)

• Settings: Account details may be inserted manually, to the extent that this is possible. No attempt to streamline authorization. Bare minimum to get a connection. Settings must be persistent. (completed ~1/9/2009)
• Upload Photo: Allow user to specify Title and Description. (completed ~1/9/2009)
• Upload Manager: No post-processing necessary. Upload may be synchronous. (completed 1/15/2009)
• Set up account on GitHub and upload milestone 1 (completed 1/16/2009)

Milestone 2:

• Check connection status before trying to make calls
• Use a background task to upload the photo (can be a single photo at a time, needs progress bar or indication)
• Catch and handle connection errors in a sane manner
• Solicit beta testers (friends, at least two Android dev websites)
• Pin down a name for the project (completed 1/16/2009 – FlickrBot)
• Make/barter for an icon for the project (completed 1/16/2009)
• Make/barter for a logo for the configuration page
• Handle landscape mode for config page (or just force it to be vertical) (completed 1/16/2009)
• Move all information strings to resource file
• Add open source headers (GPL V3 license if possible) (completed 1/16/2009)
• Upload to the Android market

Milestone 3:

• Add extra settings menu, with persistence (license, etc)
• Autofill Tags
• Autofill Groups
• Autofill Collections
• Handle non- HVGA resolutions (Will there be devices that this matters on?)
