Hi, the good news is that we are seeing more community efforts to have new Wikimedia related mobile apps in different platforms. The last example being the Wikisource android app.

There is this entry in my (sadly long) backlog:

2012-12-19: Criteria to get a mobile app accepted as official.

The motivation to add it was that a contact at Nokia had asked the requirements to develop a Wikipedia app for Windows Phone accepted as official. We didn't (and afaik we don't) have an answer.

I believe we need that list of requirements, especially when the Wikimedia Foundation is applying the "narrow focus" strategy, encouraging other community developers to take the lead in the platforms & Wikimedia projects we are not pushing directly.

Does anybody want to take the lead, start the discussion and a draft in a wiki page? Even if the requirements and process to become an official application will need the approval of the WMF you don't need to be an employee to push a proposal. We will help whoever takes task.
