Re: [Offline-l] content curation requirements

Hello! The New Readers team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been offered volunteer development by a student group from UC Berkeley, called Diversatech. They'll complete this work within their semester (ending in December). Given results from the research into offline support in the Wikipedia Android app <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Offline_support/V1_User_research> (which I shared recently on this list) and the many requests from this group, they're going to develop a prototype for consideration around what a tool might look like that allows content curators for offline files to develop a list of articles. I'd love your feedback for what considerations they should take into play as they're looking at this. Remember that this work is exploratory and the scope will end up being smaller than what I imagine we all would like from a tool like this :) If you're interested, you can out my quick pass at requirements, and add requirements there or other thoughts to the talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Readers/Offline/Content_curation If we decide to invest further in something like this, we will be sure to run a fuller consultation as well. I'm also going to encourage them to keep their progress updated on that page, but can't guarantee that that'll happen given the short timeline and exploratory nature of the work.
