Hi Nick,

I'm glad the definition endpoint is useful for you!  

To stay informed on the current status of the endpoint, keep an eye on this wiki page.  To help out, you can file bugs here or submit patches to the mobileapps repo in Gerrit (see How to become a MediaWiki hacker if you're new to our development process).  

Cheers!

best way to keep myself informed on the progress?  And is there a way for
me to help?
