Yallah! The ninth POTY is running this year[0] and I dare to say it's the vote with
most participation across the Wikimedia Empire to my knowledge. We usually have over 1000
eligible voters (had 3390 in 2013) and a vote volume of over 10000 (had 130000 in 2013)
[1]. And I, together with 4(+-1) other committee members and a great and helpful
community, am organizing every year's contest since a while.
Mobile usage is increasing and the mobile/web interface is getting more usable. So we are
wondering what'd be the best way to port POTY App to mobile. Surely there have to be
adoptions to the interface but this is not what I am wondering about. I am more interested
in
- People interested in volunteering porting the application to mobile
- Helpful advice how to design such a mobile product
-- How to load scripts? Is [[MediaWiki:Mobile.js]] the only way to achieve that?
-- Which libraries are additionally available; Which from Desktop are missing?
-- A link to a good introduction into mobile development in general and with MediaWiki.
