This is a heads up that the Wikimedia Mobile team is going to
be un- publishing the WLM app from the Google Play store.
Practically this means that you will no longer be able
download the WLM app from the market. You *will* still be able
to download all previous releases from :
This change will not affect any of our current users.
Why are we doing this? The app was specifically crafted and
resourced with an expiration date of the WLM contest. Now that
WLM has fully wrapped up we'd like to take what we've learned
and apply all of our energy to meeting our annual goal of 1,000
photo uploads / month. In order to do this we need to take what
we've learned from the WLM app and channel it into a more
generic mobile web and app experience. This requires us to free
up resources that would be supporting the app for bug fixes,
legal updates, etc.
What does this mean to the existing users? Nothing much. The
mobile team put in a redirect so that the app works with the
tool server now. That will make it so that no existing users are
interrupted for the life time of the TS.
As the mobile team executes on the next six months were
keenly interested in building solutions that can easily work for
WLM in the future.
