I've scheduled 30 minutes on Wednesday for myself
and the tech leads
(Adam, Dmitry) to scope out a Wikipedia Lite app.

Dan -- can you please limit the scope to sizing
the android app? I think
that's more relevant to reaching people in the developing world.
I think that depends. In a world where we're focussing on preloads, the
size of the app is pretty immaterial as the user isn't paying the cost for
downloading it. In that world, the best optimisations to make are probably
reducing network traffic and improving performance on slower devices,
things where there's lot of room for improvement in our code base. Also,
our Android app is also an order of magnitude smaller than Facebook's
Android app, so that's less of an issue for us. Facebook evidently decided
to TACKLE ALL THE THINGS with Facebook Lite.
Also, can you see what percent of our GS traffic uses 2.3? Google has it
at about 10% globally but we need to understand
our target market better.
You might also want to check in with your new contact at App Annie to see
if they have useful GS data.
Absolutely.
