Reading can answer that better than I; however, making the skin itself is
only part of the issue – you also would want to scrap m.wikimedia.org
*etc. *Right now, the mobile sites have to make massive changes to the
content to make it fit on a mobile screen (and even then can't fix some
things, like tables). Giving mobile users a responsive skin whilst the
contents weren't appropriate wouldn't make anyone happy. Until the contents
of at least most the millions of pages of Wikimedia wikis' projects are
mobile-safe, we can't reasonably get rid of the mobile "site".

New study (US only) by the Knight Foundation:
https://medium.com/mobile-first-news-how-people-use-smartphones-to ,
summarized here:
http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/05/people-love-wikipedia…
"People spent more time on Wikipedia’s mobile site than any other news
or information site in Knight’s analysis, about 13 minutes per month
for the average visitor. CNN wasn’t too far behind, at 9 minutes 45
seconds per month. BuzzFeed clocked in third at 9 minutes 21 seconds
per month. (BuzzFeed, however, slays both CNN and Wikipedia in time
spent with the sites’ apps, compared with mobile websites. BuzzFeed
users devote more than 2 hours per month to its apps, compared with
about 46 minutes among CNN app users and 31 minutes among Wikipedia
app loyalists.)
Another way to look at Wikipedia’s influence: Wikipedia reaches almost
one-third of the total mobile population each month, according to
Knight’s analysis, which used data from the audience-tracking firm
Nielsen."

Hi everyone,
We've just released a high-priority maintenance update to the production
version of our Android app[0].
This fixes some issues that numerous users have reported in the last couple
days regarding being unable to login or save edits[1]. This also makes sure
that the "Define" button that shows the Wiktionary definition of a
highlighted word is enabled for all users (on enwiki).
Sorry for any inconvenience!
[0] Rolling out at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia
[1] We think it has to do with our networking library not playing nicely
with the version of nginx currently on our servers when using HTTP/2, so
we've disabled HTTP/2 in the app until this is resolved in the library (

Last week we released the 5.0.3 update to the iOS app. Although testers
reported stability issues in the earlier builds, we believed we had
resolved all these issues prior to submitting to the app store. We were
wrong.
To begin to address this, today we released version 5.0.4, now available
for download
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikipedia-mobile/id324715238?mt=8>[1] to
resolve most pressing issues. Particularly with loading the Most Read and
scrolling the Explore screen.
Thanks to the team for working quickly to diagnose and patch user reported
issues while at the Reading team off site meeting.
And thanks to our users for your patience.
Happy Monday,
Josh Minor
