Wikimedia Mobile engineering/Overview

Mobile support has become a strategic topic for the Wikimedia Foundation and the community. Mobile Projects is the point of coordination of all activities aiming to improve the user experience accessing and contributing to Wikipedia and sister projects. We welcome community and corporate contributions!
