Transferring data to a content app
The general use case would be to be able to post data to content apps, including binaries.
Example
Big travel companies have local field agents who are responsible for rating accommodations like hotels, etc. For that they should be able to use some of the 'modern devices' like smart phones or tablets.
They also should be able to enter some text and take photos of the objects/accommodations. A common problem these agents are facing is that there is often no local internet connection available so the text and photos
can not be edited/transferred to an M5 app/website immediately. That means you can't provide a simple solution like doing a Magnolia login on a public instance and enter the data in a M5 app.
A solution would be to have an app (not in Magnolia but on an iPhone/Android device) that is able to handle data entries offline and synchronize the data later when an internet connection is available.
For such a use case it would be great to have a simple interface to transfer the collected data to a Magnolia instance (binaries should be supported). I also can imagine that it would be a benefit that transferred data could be reviewed by an editorial team located at the travel company before showing them on a public website.
This is something that e.g. REWE touristic wants to have but I can imagine it would be a great showcase also for all the other travel companies interested in Magnolia.
