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!

Background:


 * Mobile related actions agreed in the new Strategic Plan or the MWF.
 * Strategic opportunity: Mobile section in the Product Whitepaper, part of the new Wikimedia strategy.
 * Mobile access status from the point of view of mobile browsers and apps (contains info decently updated).
 * Mobile is the central point of anything related to the Wikimedia mobile sites.
 * Mediawiki API documentation.
 * Translating:Wikimedia_mobile is useful to see the languages/communities interested in good mobile support.
 * Current mobile apps projects: iPhone app (official) and WikiSnaps (community/inofficial, for iPhone with an Android port in the works).
 * Mobile @ Wikimedia - Past, Present, and Future are PDF slides by Tomasz Finc (February 2011) summarizing all of the above.
