I don't think we need a WMF-specific extension. Things such as
copyrighted icons seems like a generic feature (e.g. you should be
able to turn them on and off). As Arthur points out all logos are
already configurable but we could probably do a better job of that
(e.g. a setup.php).

Another WMF-specific 'feature' in MF is
zero-rated banner handling. It would
be great if we could figure out how to move this stuff out of MF,
particularly as we're starting to migrate stuff into core.

The logo is configurable and the trademark character could also be made
configurable. We could probably wrap the getSite() logic in something to
make it conditional. The biggest problem with MF at the moment for non-WMF
use is the device detection, which is something we need to sort out even if
we create a separate WMF MF and/or move the functionality to core. I think
we're better off putting our energies into fixing device detection and
getting mobile support built directly into core.

Hi,
Currently, MobileFrontend has lots of features intended for WMF use
only: code relying on database name consisting of project and
language, Wikipedia logos all around, code that adds ® on enwiki and
so on. This goes against our aims of MobileFrontend integration with
core MediaWiki and making our mobile code useable by everyone. Thus,
I propose to factor out everything WMF-specific into a separate
extension.
We need to invent a name for this extension. WikimediaMobile is
already taken:)
Also, please let me know if there are more WMFisms that I've missed.
