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. --tomasz

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. On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 23:22, Tomasz Finc <tfinc(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

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. ;) -- brion

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!) -- brion

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.
