Hi Kirk, So I'm gonna start by the end, this is really good testing and feed-backs, thanks a lot! Now let's dive in :) On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 10:43:30AM -0800, Kirk Bridger wrote: > So I tried just now with a small image ~0.5MB jpg.

This is present in the contribute page: http://209.132.184.188/nuancier/contribute/ See section 'Technical requirements'. I'm not sure yet about repeating the info on the submission page a second time, I'll think more about it. One of the issues being of course that if we change the requirements that's two places to update instead of one, another is that people might skip the longer list of requirements because we also provide a shorter one. > I tried again with the same image as the first time, noting that > last time I did not give it a name (assuming the fields are all > optional as no indication as to what is required on the form). Ok, I had done something wrong in the forms, now it will tell you if one of the mandatory field is missing. > 3 - Could that kind of uniqueness be checked prior to upload rather > than waiting 1 minute and then having it fail?

The name is in fact the title of the image. If you hover over the images on the actual page, that's what you'll see: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/nuancier/election/1/ Maybe renaming the field from 'Name' to 'Title' would help. > 4 - After seeing that error I just changed the name and clicked > submit.

Here again, with the form now fixed, if one field is missing it will let you know. > 5 - Could the filename be on the left of the browse button?

If we can come up with the list of all the acceptable licenses, I'll be glad to change this text field into a drop-down list. In the meanwhile, CC-BY-SA is the default license but we let the contributor change it to whatever license they prefer and the admin will be able to allow/reject submission also based on the license used. I'll try to fix the 'Browse' <-> 'file name' position and push the changes to the server as well.
