To: mobile-l <<a href="mailto:mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org">mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a>><br><br><br>Hi, it's been some weeks since the first day I discussed with Tomasz and<br>
Alolita about what a Wikipedia mobile app could be. We are at that point<br>
where we need to share a common vision, so let's check how much we agree<br>
already. :)<br>
<br>
<a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/App_Features_%" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/App_Features_%</a><br>
26_Roadmap#Rationale describes an app that imho would be great to have<br>
for the Wikimedia community and beyond. Warning: there is no feasibility<br>
check done on those features yet. But if you like them we might be able<br>
to get someone with the skills to investigate what is easy, what is<br>
though but doable and all the rest.<br>
<br>
Developing those features through iterations in a reference<br>
HTML5/CSS/Javascript implementation will make easier to have ports for<br>
specific platforms, hopefully requiring just a little extra work (as<br>
opposed to rewriting for each platform).<br>
<br>
Being an open source application developed openly may also help getting<br>
some of these "community features" implemented in the many commercial<br>
apps around, currently focusing only on read-only use cases. If the<br>
features are cool and we give them the code for free...<br>
