What does everyone think about building a testing list for our various mobile apps? I have a handful of users who have been testing the iOS app and I'm getting a bit tired of having to mail them individually.

hi tomasz, sounds good. would it be acceptable to just use this list? checking with e.g. linux, they do not have a dedicated test list, but handle everything on the main list.

I'd be pretty happy with getting beta announces here on this list -- it also doubles as an advertisement for more testers of people who have already gotten sorta involved. ;)

Note that iOS is slightly more complicated because we need to collect peoples' device IDs before making each beta release thanks to Apple's totalitarian code-signing system... so it might be wise to do some 'pre-beta' announcements if we're about to start a series of them, to help pre-seed the testers. (Support the right to read -- buy Android or other devices that allow 3rd-party native application distribution!)

All right. We'll keep beta announcements on this list then. We can always revisit it later if the volume on this list becomes too high.
Android users: expect an APK coming to this list soon. If your a dev then build from here https://github.com/nitobi/Wikipedia
iOS users: Send me your UDID. If you don't know how to find it follow this link
