Wikimedia Apps/Wikipedia/2014 rewrite

Demo
A demo screencast from February 19 2014:



Roadmap
Currently targeting a public release circa March/April 2014. Of course you can grab it now, it's open source!

Major improvements over the old app:
 * faster and more flexible: native UI chrome for Android, iOS
 * login & account creation
 * basic wikitext editing
 * save pages for offline reading

Currently missing features from the old app:
 * Nearby view (may not get done)
 * Migration of already-saved pages from the old app

Android
The Android version can accept incoming URLs from Wikipedia, just like the old app could, and works with Google's app search extension. Neat!

iOS
iOS version currently has implemented more of the customized UI elements on the navigation bar. Pretty coool... `

Betas
Betas are released near the end of each 2-week work sprint.

Current Android development beta at https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/apps-android-wikipedia-sprint25.apk

Currently, iOS betas are distributed only internally to Wikimedia Foundation (we are limited by Apple's distribution rules), but we may run an open beta round again.
