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.
Order site is

I'd like the orange color variant.
Best regards,
Christian
Good Idea. I approve it.
