First it would be good to know whether someone is
already working or
planning to work here on a native Wikipedia app for Android, with open
source license and an aim to become official.
I asked in IRC and YuviPanda is the only one that have responded and he did
not mentioned anything like that.
Then I would go for feature parity with the current official Wikipedia app
as it runs in Android. I would also follow the look
& feel as much as
possible except for those cases where the Android native suits better.
Maybe the team that maintains the official app has better advice on this.
I was thinking about the same thing, and I'm opened to any suggestion from
the phonegap app team :).
Last but not least, don't call it "Wikipedia" and don't use the
Wikipedia
trademarks during the development process. We can sort
that out when there
is a good candidate to evaluate.
Ok the name, but for the package name you would suggest to use something
different by "org.wikimedia.wikipedia"?
PS: we started drafting a proposal for the process an app has to follow to
YuviPanda mentioned it.. I'm going to look into it :)
Thanks for your points,
