ANYWAY - it occurred to me that if we want to make Wikimedia projects available to people - should we run our own WAP server? Or supply a suitable feed or software as a paid feed for phone companies who want to sell this to their customers? Or get them to give us the access to supply knowledge to the world this way?
We have been contacted about a direct feed for such services in the past - it's a not uncommon mail to info-en - but I don't know if we ever arranged something with anyone in the end.
wapedia.org and wapipedia.org have both run similar mirrors - might be worth seeing what they're up to, as well.
Running our own en-wap.wikipedia.org (or something) would be a lot of hassle from the technical side, but an interesting one to try.
