Hi,
When I upgrade from 2.1.137-fdroid to 2.1.141-fdroid (I fell a little
behind in staying up to date), the Android Wikipedia app requests the
"run at startup" permission. Is this intentional? Why does the app need
to run at startup?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I've been working on a project to improve the categorization of
pictures in the Upload to Commons Android app
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115101> as part of the Outreachy
Dec '15 program, which is soon drawing to an end. To summarize, 3 new
features have been implemented in this app:
1. If a picture with geolocation is uploaded, nearby category
suggestions are offered (based on the categories of other Commons
images with similar coordinates)
2. If a picture with no geolocation is uploaded, nearby category
suggestions are offered based on the user's current location. This is
optional and only works if enabled in Settings.
3. Category search (when typing in the search field) has been made
more flexible, whereas previously this was done solely by prefix
search. E.g. now searching for 'latte' should be able to return 'iced
latte'.
The latest version of the app is v1.11 and can be downloaded at
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.free.nrw.commons>.
Please feel free to leave feedback or bug reports at
<https://github.com/nicolas-raoul/apps-android-commons/issues>.
I have had an amazing time working on this app as part of the
Outreachy program, and I greatly appreciate all the support and help
that the WMF community has given me. :)
Cheers!

Hello Guys,
My name is Donald, I am 23, and also a second year undergraduate student
from Nigeria. I am interested in contributing to the Wikimedia
foundation[WMF] with intentions to eventually enrol in the GSoC 2016
program if the Foundation would be participating .
I am particularly interested in the Wikipedia Android App development, I
have over 3 years worth of Android development experience which I acquired
before I enrolled into a university.
I am very inspired about the work you guys do at Wikimedia, I am a heavy
user of your softwares, they have made a huge impact in my life and I am so
excited about contributing to this amazing project . I would appreciate any
advice from the team on where best to start.
Thank you.
Hi all,
We've just released an updated version of the Wikipedia Android app[1][2],
rolling out as we speak to the Google Play store! Here are the highlights
from this update:
* Support for animated images throughout the app (image gallery, lead
images, search results, etc).
* When saving media from the gallery, the files are now downloaded in their
original form and resolution to your device's external memory, and made
available in the device's Gallery app.
* Improved memory consumption in the app when browsing lots of pages and
images.
* Improvements to the networking layer and stability.
* Fixed account creation without an email address.
* Fixed ability to copy large amounts of text to the clipboard.
* Numerous miscellaneous bug and crash fixes.
Thanks to the following contributors for their patches:
* Yuvi Panda
* Dan Garry (Deskana)
* Justin Du (MtDu)
* You?[3]
