Reading/Readers contributions via Android

About
 What kind of tasks that could be done by readers or casual contributors, and which are needed (and welcomed) by editors, at the same time?

After the work on community of readers and the user interaction consultation, the Reading team would like to move forward with a conversation that helps the team frame a theme of products, where readers are actively contributing with some of the required editing tasks.

You can check the Reading team thoughts on the topic here, while below is a list of suggested tasks, and their evaluation based on some criteria. Please feel free to add more ideas, and add to criteria if needed.



Recording audio titles:
Adding an appropriate audio micro-contribution capability to mobile apps, where there is an increasing readership, as a way to foster more user usage and contributions on mobile for audio content. New activities might inspire existing readers community with new experiences to convert more mobile readers to editors.
 * Goal

When I come across an article that has a hard to pronounce title that I am familiar with, I want to contribute an audio sample of my pronunciation so that other readers unfamiliar with IPA are able to hear the correct pronunciation.
 * User Story

User contributes a recorded pronunciation of the article's title using their mobile device's microphone. (e.g. en:Eyjafjallajokull which can be linked in Wikidata e.g. D:Q39651#P443)


 * How do we know we’ve been successful?
 * Increase in addition of quality (ie., non-vandalism type) audio contributions
 * Increase usage of listen feature

You can check an Interactive mockup of the idea in the link.

Image contributions:
Adding an appropriate image via direct upload through Android app. The entry point of the image, could have one of the possible three elaborated scenarios below:
 * Goal

Add image via Nearby


If you allowed our app to access your geo-location, and update you with articles nearby your coordinates, then, one possibility would be to have the app sending you a notification that you can take an image of an article nearby you. A handy feature that you can opt-in for if you are sightseeing and have time. Could also work great for organized photo walk, hackathon kind of activity.

Add image while reading:
The idea is if someone is reading an article which is missing a lead image and they have a suitable image of on my device, they they can add it to the article.

Add/edit lead image to the article:
The idea is if someone is reading an article which is missing a lead image and they have a suitable image of on my device, they they can add it to the article.
