If this is a double/triple post, I apoligize. I was getting error messages back.
On #wikipedia DavidGerard posted this link: http://www.kwickee.com/. They are going to provide content to mobile users. These people are going to fail. We can provide better and for free.
My idea is thus: Have a mobile.wikipedia.org domain that is designed for small browsers. It would draw it's contents off the main name space, but would initally just download the first paragraph of the article. It would be readonly.
Ideas/Thoughts?

If I am not mistaken, that is offsite dump, correct? What I was thinking of would be inhouse, so we could make it better faster.

Perhaps someone should ask, ih he wants to merge his project: http://www.wapedia.de/wapedia:Florian_Amrhein
It seems that he has no commercial interests.
