Hi guys,
Just out of curiosity, how possible is it to modify the app to work with other wikis based off the wikipedia code. (ie have a variable with the domain name and allow users to point it to a different location) Or at least, if there will be a re-write, is it possible to put that in the next version.
cheers phill
The application for the iPhone is located at: https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-iphone The application for Android is located at: https://github.com/nitobi/Wikipedia
Both can easily be modified to allow for pointing directly at other mediawiki wikis.

One caveat -- the app doesn't do mobile reformatting itself, so requires the MobileFrontend extension or similar to be available to point at.
The current codebase at least for the new Android version hasn't actually been generalized so has a few hardcoded links that need fixing, but is mostly a wrapper on a web browser view with a couple extras. :)
