End Goal: Have an app that expereienced commons users can use to easily upload Media

Tentative release date: 4th Feb 2013

Features

 * 1) Persistant Secure Login (Wikimedia account, not just commons?)
 * 2) Upload a photo to commons (only via share intents - no launchers) (background uploads!)
 * 3) Be able to set title, description, select categories
 * 4) Retry when upload fails (I should never have to type title, description, etc more than once)

 * 6) Feedback on what is happening via Notifications (not too spammy!)
