Yallah! The tenth POTY (Picture of the Year) is running this year[1].
POTY features a set of superior quality preselected media files. Voters will decide which one they like best.
I am happy to say it's the vote with most participation across the Wikimedia to my knowledge. We usually have over 3000 eligible voters (had 4504 in 2015) and a vote volume of over 50000 (had 130000 in 2013) [2]. A small committee of 4(+-1) members and a great and helpful community, organize every year's contest since 10 years.
Mobile usage is increasing and the mobile/web interface is getting more awesome. So we are wondering what'd be the best way to port POTY App to mobile or how to create one from scratch. Help in the following sectors would be truly welcome: - People interested in authoring a mobile voting application - Helpful advice how to design such a mobile product -- How to load scripts? Is [[MediaWiki:Mobile.js]] the only way to achieve that? -- Which libraries are additionally available; Which from Desktop are missing? -- A link to a good introduction into mobile development in general and with MediaWiki.
