Subject: [WikimediaMobile] Help us develop the Wikipedia Android app<br>To: Wikimedia developers <<a href="mailto:wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org">wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a>>, mobile-l <<a href="mailto:mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org">mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a>><br>
<br><br>Greetings All,<br>
<br>
Over the last couple of weeks a group of devs from Nitobi have been<br>
putting together an Android Wikipedia App for us. They've been using<br>
the PhoneGap framework to build the app and now it mostly has the same<br>
features as our iOS app. I think it's finally gotten to a good state<br>
for people to start hacking on it.<br>
<br>
For those just wanting to get started here are the links<br>
<br>
code: <a href="https://github.com/nitobi/Wikipedia" target="_blank">https://github.com/nitobi/Wikipedia</a><br>
bugs: <a href="http://bit.ly/q1B9Bj" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/q1B9Bj</a><br>
feature ideas: <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/App_Features_&_Roadmap#Features_committed" target="_blank">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/App_Features_&_Roadmap#Features_committed</a><br>
<br>
Right now the code is sitting in github but the plan is to move it<br>
into our own git repo, alongside MediaWiki.<br>
<br>
How can you help?<br>
<br>
* Fork the code and help us with open bug requests<br>
* Critique the code and suggest cleanup<br>
* Port the app to iOS, Symbian, BlackBerry, Windows, WebOS, & Bada —<br>
first get it running, then customize to each platform's look and feel<br>
* Start to hack on new features like image uploads, starting a new<br>
article, offline article saving, openZIM support, etc ...<br>
* Localization for the user interface<br>
* ... and whatever else you can come up with<br>
<br>
Don't worry if you don't know Objective C, Java, etc .. All you need<br>
to know is HTML5, CSS3, and JS. It's really simple to write these<br>
apps.<br>
<br>
Lots of pretty screen shots and a user flow diagram here :<br>
