Hi,
In the development workshop Strasbourg we had the following idea to accelerate
the development
of WikiOnBoard for modern touchscreen phones:
I've had planned to buy a Symbian^3 device (Nokia N8) in the medium term.
However, I'd have waited until
it is available in Austria and price falls somewhat.
To develop a touchscreen optimized version of WikiOnBoard (current version runs,
but with mediocre usability,
for example kinetic scrolling is not supported) which could also be
distributed over the Nokia Ovi Appstore it would be
good if I had access to a Symbian^3 phone in a shorter time frame.
Therefore the idea was that Manual orders the phone (N8) in the nokia germany
online store and forwards it to me (The Nokia
online shop does not send international), and that a part of the phone (the premium
for early adopters) is paid by the
openzim budget. I'd propose that 100-150€ of total ~500€ are paid by the openzim
budget.
Please let us know whether you have any general objections against this or the
amount proposed.
Unfortunately is N8 availability apparently decreasing - only two of five color
variants are available anymore
and prize has increased to 500€ - therefore we should decide on this in a
short time frame.
Therefore please give your feed back until Thursday evening, so that Manual
could order on Friday if proposal
is accepted.

I'd like the orange color variant.
Best regards,
