[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [WikimediaMobile] Help us develop the Wikipedia Android app

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tomasz Finc &lt;tfinc(a)wikimedia.org&gt; Date: 6 October 2011 18:19 Subject: [WikimediaMobile] Help us develop the Wikipedia Android app To: Wikimedia developers &lt;wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;rg>, mobile-l < mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; Greetings All, Over the last couple of weeks a group of devs from Nitobi have been putting together an Android Wikipedia App for us. They've been using the PhoneGap framework to build the app and now it mostly has the same features as our iOS app. I think it's finally gotten to a good state for people to start hacking on it. For those just wanting to get started here are the links code: https://github.com/nitobi/Wikipedia bugs: http://bit.ly/q1B9Bj feature ideas: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/App_Features_&_Roadmap#F… Right now the code is sitting in github but the plan is to move it into our own git repo, alongside MediaWiki. How can you help? * Fork the code and help us with open bug requests * Critique the code and suggest cleanup * Port the app to iOS, Symbian, BlackBerry, Windows, WebOS, & Bada — first get it running, then customize to each platform's look and feel * Start to hack on new features like image uploads, starting a new article, offline article saving, openZIM support, etc ... * Localization for the user interface * ... and whatever else you can come up with Don't worry if you don't know Objective C, Java, etc .. All you need to know is HTML5, CSS3, and JS. It's really simple to write these apps. Lots of pretty screen shots and a user flow diagram here : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Projects/WikipediaAndroidApp Come join us on #wikimedia-mobile and let us know how it goes. --tomasz _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
