A new release of Wikipedia Beta for iOS has just been released to the "external testing" group (limited to 1,000 users). Invitations are being emailed automatically via TestFlight, the existing beta distribution service, which was acquired by Apple.
If you'd like to be part of this external testing group, please email me directly with your Apple ID and I'll add you (please don't barrage the mobile-l list). To identify the "best" email address to have added:
1) Download the app 'TestFlight' ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664?mt=8) from the App Store with your iOS 8 device.
2) Open the app 'TestFlight' and look for the email address that's signed in.
We plan to cut another TestFlight release to external testers in the next day or so. This is all in support of a planned full release by the end of the current quarter.
Thanks! -Adam
P.S. Some of you on this list are already on the internal Wikipedia Beta TestFlight "internal testing" group limited to 25 users. Thank you for your continued support, and thanks to everyone else for their support!

Hi all - just a quick update. The app was submitted on Friday the 13th of March to try to allow enough time to hit the quarterly deadline. Presently, it is in the waiting queue.
