Wikipedia for KaiOS/pt-br

Em linha com a missão de tornar a soma de todos os conhecimentos gratuita para todos, o está construindo um aplicativo da Wikipedia para usuários do KaiOS. KaiOS é um sistema operacional para dispositívo móvel basedo no Linux. Ele oferece recursos inteligentes para telefones característicos, permitindo o uso de aplicativos. Esses telefones vêm com recursos de computação limitados, teclas de hardware e uma tela pequena. Ele traz aplicativos populares como YouTube, Twitter e WhatsApp para usuários que não poderiam comprar um smartphone.

O KaiOS é usado em 100 milhões de dispositivos em todo o mundo, a maioria dos quais usam o JioPhone na Índia. A equipe Inuka realizou uma pesquisa qualitativa na Índia para entender por que e como esses usuários usam esses celulares. Aprendemos que os usuários optam por comprar esses telefones porque eles são acessíveis e permitem o acesso a aplicativos como os smartphones fazem. Também aprendemos os desafios que eles enfrentam ao tentar ler a Wikipedia no navegador móvel nativo. Os desafios incluíam a capacidade de rolar pelo conteúdo, o tamanho do texto na tela, a pesquisa de conteúdo e a falta de consciência de que o conteúdo da Wikipedia está disponível em vários idiomas.

Desafio de design
Os celulares com KaiOS possuem uma tela pequena de 2,8 polegadas sem sensibilidade ao toque. In designing the app, we had to consider how we would present information from Wikipedia on the small screen size in a way that would provide a good reading experience for the target audience.

For the first version, the team wanted to make sure that users would be able to read and search for Wikipedia articles in their language of choice. In the design and engineering, we considered how users would be introduced to Wikipedia, how they discover articles, and how they navigate easily within articles.

Onboarding flow
Research showed that, in India and other parts of emerging markets, there is low awareness of Wikipedia. We wanted to focus the onboarding experience on defining what Wikipedia is in simple language to a user who may or may not have used Wikipedia before.

Page by page scrolling
Wikipedia articles, at least the really good ones, are relatively long. In our research, users indicated that they found it frustrating to scroll down with the hardware keys as it needed many key presses. We have introduced page by page scrolling, that allows a user to read the article as if they were reading a book, rather than scrolling pixel by pixel.

Language choice and selection
Research has also shown that it is not easy to discover the languages that Wikipedias are available in, particularly in Emerging Markets. We have placed the option to change language where a reader can always see it.

Table of contents
Similar to the Android and iOS apps for Wikipedia, we wanted to give users the functionality to be able to quickly switch to the sections of interest within an article

Article Quick links
At the start of an article, we provided quick links for users to choose how they would like to navigate - they can choose to:
 * see the sections of an article,
 * read quick facts (which is the content in the infobox),
 * See a gallery of images in an article
 * Switch the language of the article
 * Go directly to read the article summary

App availability
The first version of the app was released on 9th September 2020 in India. The app was released to KaiOS users on 7th December 2020. Readers can find the Wikipedia app in the JioStore in India and in the KaiStore in all parts of the world where KaiOS phones are available.

Edit functionality
For the first version, the app does not support editing. Editing articles in the form factor of the KaiOS phone is complex, time-consuming and likely to lead to errors. We are following the work of other teams at WMF, who are working on allowing micro contributions through phones, and plan to provide editing capability in future releases. Editing Wikipedia is still available on the native mobile browser.

Known issues
The following limitations and known issues apply to the first release, V 1.0.0:
 * RTL languages are not yet fully supported. Will be supported for the next release
 * Translations for the UI not fully completed for several languages

Growing app usage
As part of the Wikimedia Foundation's partnership with KaiOS, in January 2021 we began running advertisements to increase the visibility and downloads of the Wikipedia app on the KaiOS platform. As most KaiOS adopters are first-time internet users, they are far less likely to know that Wikipedia exists—let alone use it on a regular basis.

KaiOS regularly displays small banner ads to their phone users while they are browsing the internet, and we are using their standard process for placing our ads. Each of our banner ads are composed of two parts:


 * A short message about Wikipedia
 * A button that brings users to Wikipedia's listing in the KaiOS app store where they have the option to download it

These ads are running globally in English, Spanish, French, and Arabic, languages which cover approximately 90% of KaiOS's current userbase. No ads are or will be run on the KaiOS Wikipedia app.
