Hello mobile wikimedians,

In late December the Foundation's iOS team announced[1] a public beta of a major overhaul[2] of the iOS Wikipedia app. Today we delivered what we hope will be a final beta before launch, and are primarily in bug fix and visual touches mode.

If you would like to participate as a beta tester, it is NOT TOO LATE. Please sign-up here if interested: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19flzJ3lObZLfN5gKv69BZWkeouH7Vuznykk6q-O6xRc...

If you have tried a previous beta (thanks), now would be a great time to update to the latest version.

And last but not least, if you have feedback you can provide it via this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NDBPJvWZ0idh9OuQ8pt684c9MwitOHQGsFvXTO4tcs0...

In our IRC channel on freenode at #wikimedia-ios or on our project talk page[3]

Or just send me an email!

Thanks to all the code contributors, bug filers, testers and anyone who's helped make the app better.

Prior to release I will send more info to this list about the feedback we've received that we were not able to act on, and future features and improvements based on that feedback.

Thanks, Josh
