The good news is that it looks like making the mobile app already means making the wiki more mobile, and specifically PhoneGap, compatible. Going beyond the wiki to a mobile specific site seems unlikely and uncharacteristically duplicative.
This would be for multiple platforms, not just iOS, and I'm not too concerned about app approval times.
At the very least it will leave WM2013 well positioned.

A full-featured multi-platform app would be pretty shortday now (especially if you want to get it past the app review process on iOS). A nice mobile website would be a better option IMHO.
Let me know if you need any help on that.

Greetings,
As someone involved with Wikimania programming - I'm wondering if there
are volunteers interested in developing a Wikimania mobile app. It may not be feasible given the short timeline, but I've seen a number of conference apps coming out over the past week and figured it should at least be pondered. :)
Essentially the idea would be to include schedule, local info, maps,
etc. Things that can be pulled from the Wikimania 2012 wiki. Perhaps something PhoneGap based?
Any thoughts or interest?
