The apps don't have much a volunteer developer base when you compare them to other MediaWiki projects. This is partially because the technology stack is different (Java/Objective C app, as opposed to PHP website). But we have lots of eager volunteer developers out there, and we should engage with them!

To help accomplish the above, I've signed myself up to give an intro to mobile app development at the MediaWiki Developer Summit in January. It'd be great if those engineers on the mobile apps team who are interested and attending the summit could sign themselves up as well, so that we can help people who are interested. Or, if you're not an engineer but you're attending and you're curious, sign up too!

Thanks,
