It's up to the Foundation whether they pursue trademark issues with this site, but it raises an interesting point... Why is there no mobile version of the sister projects? Wikinews and Wikisource seem like obvious candidates to have a mobile version like Wikipedia has, given that there are existing smartphone applications that show a need in those areas. Wikinews: there's a bunch of newsreading apps for smartphones already - look at, say, the BBC's iPhone and iPad apps for news. Wikisource: people seem to like reading books on phones too (Kindle app, iBooks, Google have some kind of books thing in the pipeline apparently). Wikibooks and Wikiquote too. Not so sure whether there is such a pressing need for Wikiversity on mobile, so whatever. Anyone at the Foundation: any chance of mobile versions for the sister projects? -- Tom Morris <http://tommorris.org/> _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
