Greetings All,
I'm happy to report that we've finished our released candidates and that this afternoon we'll be submitting version 1.0 of the Wikipedia Android application for a very quiet launch. I stress .. a very quiet launch. We don't want any large publicity at first. Our current plan is to push to the Google market today, Amazon & F-Droid market next week, and to do PR after we see the reviews coming in late next week. That way we have time to do any fixes or workflow tweaks.
Many thanks to the mobile team for getting this out and specifically Yuvi & Brion who worked some furious hours to get us to this point.
I'll post a link to the store after its published and you should get your friends to try it. But no need to push it to any major news sites .. not yet at least.

Splendid news - well done to all.
There are a couple of CSS issues with the (en.wikipedia) mobile site, which also affect the app. What's the best pace to report them?
