[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Mobile site banner to promote the WLM App

[Andrew Gray]

I was surprised to see this appear earlier today! It'll be interesting to
see the results...

Are there any plans to put a banner in the Android app as well as the
mobile site? A large number of users have switched, so the mobile site will
only get a portion of the Android traffic.
