Greetings All,
After many check ins of hard work I'm happy to release RC1 of the Wikipedia Android application. For those that just want to download and test follow this link
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/android/WikipediaMobile-RC1.apk (MD5 58b541ff987888bf5a27ee55c1809608) or download the attachement on your phone.
We need you to teset this extensively and file bugs under https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia%20Mobile. Hammer on these builds mercilessly so that we can get all the kinks out before our market release. Our Global Development team is really eager to get this app into our partners hands and we need to get all the bugs out as quickly as possible.
Key points to test
* Browse as you would normally do on WIFI, 2G, 3G, & no connectivity * Save an article that your on and then load it as a bookmark. Delete that bookmark. * Open your browsing history and load a previous page * Tap 'near me' and browse articles. Move the map and tap 'redo search in this area' * Share a link with someone on twitter or facebook * Changing your language preference in the Settings menu * Use a phone that is in a non US local to test other languages like Hebrew, Japanese, Arabic, etc * .. and whatever else you may want try out
I've setup a quick wiki page for general feedback @ http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/WikipediaMobileAndroidFeedbac... (edit away)
There are bound to be bugs but don't think that someone will file them for you. If you don't file it then chances are that we wont know its an issue. If your not sure of wether its a bug or not then come join us on #wikimedia-mobile (freenode) and we'll sort it out.
