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
Awesome!
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:
- 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.
My personal preference is long press gesture but that is really just a gut-feeling at this point.
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.
Great. There are a lot of Wikidata coding tasks waiting for volunteers here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=need-volunteer%2C%20&... Maybe one of them is for you?
