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, Christian
Good Idea. I approve it. Emmanuel
