Subject: KaiOS phone users can now experience Wikipedia through a dedicated
app!
Hi everyone,
My name is Angie and I work on the Inuka Team at the Wikimedia Foundation
(formerly the "New Readers" team). [1]
I wanted to share that there is now an additional way to browse Wikipedia
in India. As of a few weeks ago, there is a Wikipedia app available on
KaiOS in India, which is provided through Jiophones [2]. Jiophone users can
download and install the Wikipedia app on the JioStore. As of early
October, there have been over 1 million downloads.
This first release is focused on how to make it easier to read Wikipedia on
a phone that does not have a touch screen. The platform supports over 100
languages for reading, and we appreciate that volunteers have fully
translated the Wikipedia app user interface into several Indian languages
already. The app will continue to have updates and reach more countries
over time.
If you (or someone you know) own a Jiophone, please give the app a try by
downloading it from the JioStore. We would like to hear about your
experience with it. Let us know about issues or bugs through the in-app
feedback feature, through the project talk page [3], or through Phabricator
[4].
To enable the app to reach readers in even more Indian languages, we would
greatly appreciate additional translations of the user interface on
Translatewiki.net [5].
To know more about the app and our work, and why we believe this project is
so important to help us reach new users, you can see the main page for the
app [6] and the Questions and Answers page [7]. We welcome your comments,
suggestions, and feedback on the related talk page [3].
Lastly, please, do share this message on other venues of interest for your
fellow community members in India.
Kind regards,
Angie

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all doing well and are safe amidst the ongoing COVID-19
Pandemic. On behalf of the Strategy Team [2] and the working group members
[3], I would like to take a moment with you to celebrate the publication of
the 2020 movement strategy recommendations, now live on Meta-wiki [1] and
express gratitude and appreciation for your efforts to share perspectives
into our process. Over the last two years, our movement has worked
tirelessly to produce these ideas to change our shared future. Many of you
participated in the online conversations, hosted strategy salons, attended
regional events, and connected with us in-person at Wikimania. These
contributions were invaluable, and will help make our movement stronger for
years to come.
The finished set of 10 recommendations emphasizes many of our core values,
such as equity, innovation, safety, and coordination, while tasking us
jointly to turn this vision into a reality. These recommendations clarify
and refine the previous version, which was published in January this year.
They are at a high strategic level so that the ideas are flexible enough to
be adapted to different global and local settings and will allow us to
navigate future challenges. Along with the recommendations, we have
outlined 10 underlying principles, a narrative of change, and a glossary of
key terms for better context. [5] [6] [7]
The recommendations are available in numerous languages, including Arabic,
German, Hindi, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish for you to read and
share widely. We encourage you to read the recommendations in your own time
and at your own pace, either online [1] or in a PDF [4]. There are a couple
of other formats for you to take a deeper dive if you wish, such as a
one-page summary, slides, and office hours, all collected on Meta. If you
would like to comment, you are welcome to do so on the Meta talk pages.
However, please note that these are the final version of the
recommendations. No further edits will be made. This final version of the
recommendations embodies an aspiration for how the Wikimedia movement
should continue to change in order to advance that direction and meet the
Wikimedia vision in a changing world.
In terms of next steps, our focus now shifts toward implementation. In
light of the cancellation of the Wikimedia Summit, the Wikimedia Foundation
is determining the best steps for moving forward through a series of
virtual events over the coming months. We will also be hosting live office
hours [8] in the next coming few days, where you can join us to celebrate
the Strategy and ask questions! Please stay tuned, and thank you once again
for helping to drive our movement forward, together.
With thanks,
Rupika
