Hi Dan,

OK. By the way, I have a couple of questions about the mobile apps team:

* What is the thinking behind having mobile apps instead of focusing resources 100% on mobile web?
* I believe that Damon said something about needing more mobile devs shortly after he was first hired. Is that still planned?

Thanks,

Pine

The deep rock of our past, in which we must delve
The well of our future,
The clear water we must leave untainted for those who come after us,
The fertile earth, in which truth may grow in bright places, tended by many hands,
And the broad fall of sunshine, warming our first steps toward knowing how much we do not know.

Hey Pine,

The mobile apps do not display CentralNotice banners. The reason for this is because that the apps are not based on the MediaWiki technology stack at all so we don't get the integration for free, and there is no convenient API for CentralNotice which means it'd be a lot of work for us to integrate with it. And since we're still a very small team, building this API and hooking the apps into it isn't a priority right now.

Thanks,
Dan

Do site banners appear on mobile apps and mobile web? I can't recall seeing one. With the growth in mobile, I hope that mobile apps and mobile web will support site banners for important notifications such as Wiki Loves Monuments.

Thanks,

Pine
