I'd love this. The problem is the api doesn't currently have a way to do account creation. I heard someone was working on this but don't know where they got with it... On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Cristian Consonni <kikkocristian(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Can you add a link which opens [[Special:CreateAccount]] on the device browser? It'd break the user flow, but seems better than providing nothing. Regards

didn't mediawiki have kind of a mobile skin? if this could be used for the account creation page it would be already a big help imo. rupert.

Hi All, There is a link to create an account on the login screen, which goes to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=… Unfortunately we do not yet have a mobile version of Commons, due to many factors. We wanted to squeeze that in but there wasn't time. Phil On Sep 2, 2012 8:38 AM, "rupert THURNER" <rupert.thurner(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Sadly not for this contest. The API to create accounts never reached enough maturity while this app was in development. Background info here : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Akshay.agarwal Thats why we dont require it to save images for later upload. I agree that this would be great to have in the future. --tomasz On Sat, Sep 1, 2012 at 1:41 PM, Cristian Consonni <kikkocristian(a)gmail.com> wrote:
