Become a Wikimedia mobile user

 * Use http://m.wikipedia.org from your mobile device. Try also the other Wikimedia projects.
 * If you have an iPhone, try the official Wikipedia app.
 * You might want to try also the WikiSnaps app developed by the Wikimedia community.
 * Check the App Catalog to find more mobile apps developed by third parties relying on Wikimedia content.

Follow the news related to Wikimedia Mobile features and development via Twitter.

Feedback & Support
If you have a question, just ask in the IRC channel or via [mailto:mobile@wikipedia.org e-mail].

The best way to report problems is by filing a new bug. First time? It takes just a bit longer than sending an email but in exchange your issue is never forgotten and you get email notifications about the progress and resolution.

Contributors
Anybody can contribute to the Wikimedia mobile efforts:


 * Promote the Wikimedia Mobile Projects among your friends and Wikimedia fellows.
 * Test the Wikimedia mobile services in the languages you know and report any issues. Check the List of known bugs.
 * Help translating the mobile user interface and apps to your preferred languages.
 * Happy to code HTML5, Javascript, PHP, MediaWiki? Join the Mobile Site Rewrite project.
 * Mobile developers: discussion, patches and new ports to additional platforms are welcome. Check the page specific to each project for additional information.
 * Start your new Wikimedia based mobile app. We don't have much documentation (hint hint) but the API documentation should be a good start.

Developers and regular contributors are encouraged to join the mobile-l mailing list and show up at the #wikimedia-mobile IRC channel.

Mobile companies
Professional mobile developers can get involved individually in any of the tasks listed above, and here is more:


 * If you maintain a mobile app using the Wikimedia content or API, you can make sure that it is listed and updated at the Catalog of Mobile Apps.
 * If you maintain a mobile browser or a mobile platform, you can include Wikimedia web pages to your test rounds and we are looking forward to get your feedback and bug reports. You can also keep your information up to date in the Table of Browsers Supported and the Table of Languages Supported.
 * Consider the contribution of developer resources to Wikimedia projects fitting in your roadmap. The Wikimedia Foundation can help your developers getting involved efficiently in the community work.
 * Are your mobile customers happier thanks to the fantastic work of the Wikimedia community? Please consider a donation or becoming a Benefactor or the Wikimedia Foundation. Funds for specific projects fitting in our mobile strategy are welcome too.
