Hoi,
I asked Peter Weis to help me with a proof of concept. He loaded Santhosh's
website on an iPhone and provided me with a photo of the result.
I blogged about it.
Thanks,
GerardM
Just a friendly reminder, please see my earlier

We're launching a study to observe and understand Wikipedia editors'
current reading and editing practices, with an emphasis on mobile devices,
but to also include desktop and laptop computers and other devices used in
their editing and reading processes. We have commissioned Mosoci [
http://mosoci.com/] to carry out this research project which will include
a 3-phased process: a. A short online homework assignment b. A 2 hour F2F
interview Wikipedia editors (to be conducted in New Delhi and Bangalore
April end - early May) c. Potentially participate in a workshop with the
Wikipedia team as well. We are looking for Wikipedia editors in English,
Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil. This list obviously leaves out
more languages than it includes, but since it is a qualitative study we had
to make some hard decisions to limit the scope of the study. But we will be
conducting subsequent quantitative research in India in the summer.
As is our policy at Wikipedia, we have discouraged our research agency from
offering any monetary incentive for this project - however, in the spirit of
Wikipedia, we assure you an interesting journey and conversation. Your
participation is extremely valuable to us and we'd like to show our
appreciation by giving you some Wikipedia memorabilia like T-shirts,
stickers, badges etc. But most importantly, it will be to ensure that we
understand the needs of Wikipedia editors in India and provide a platform
that enables the editing process.
In addition to Wikipedia editors, we will be also speaking with Wikipedia
readers in India to understand the experience of reading Wikipedia primarily
on the mobile phone in India.
This research is critical for meeting our strategic objectives of
increasing participation and reach in India. The research in India is the
first phase of the global user experience study that we are embarking upon.
We will be conducting similar studies in Brazil and US in the summer.
If you'd like to participate and help us grow, do let us know by March 31
by replying to this thread or writing directly to me at
mpande(a)wikimedia.org or to Dina Mehta from Moscoi at dina(a)moscoi.com.
Thanks in advance
Mani
