Hey everyone!
I was just wondering how you think we could try and get an iPhone application developed. I think the best way would be to hold a competition and, then try and get apple to donate a macbook or iPod touch or something to the winner. Apple has incorporated Wikipedia's incorporation into OSX in the past and I think it would have a similar position with the iPhone. What do you think?
cheers

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_browser_testing and I think Wikitech-l (CC'ed) would probably be more help than Foundation-l in this.
I am fairly confident that unrelated developers will create a better solution in less time than if the foundation tried something.

That's just one example from before the app store is even running, they will only get better.
This is a good thing, and a benefit of our open content model. :)
