Hi,
My name is Yanna and I'm interested in this mobilizing Wikidata idea. I
have read the thread about the topic and I agree with the idea that we can
first use MobileFront to see the result. My suggestion regard to the
data-editing feature is that we should remove the column of edit button and
implement gestures recognition on each editable entry. The editing feature
can be called upon certain gesture. Currently I can think of two solutions:
1. long press gesture. After a long press is detected, the edit or add menu
should pop up, thus allowing the pressed entry to be modified. 2. Second
tap detect. When the user first tap the entry, it becomes highlighted. If
the highlighted entry is tapped again, then it turns to the state of being
modified. So that's basically my suggestions, I'd like to hear about your
opinions.
I have some experience with PhoneGap, using html/css to build native mobile
apps. I also have experiences with mobile app development (specifically ios
app), so I'm familiar with the mobile UI development. I think my experience
will help a lot in mobilizing Wikidata. I'm planning to apply for the GSOC
AND the Outreach Program for Women. I'm looking forward to some suggestions
about what I could contribute.
Thanks,
Yanna
