2013-01-monthly
January marked the first month of the App teams existence. Yuvi Panda re-joined the WMF and has started work with Brion Vibber on both an iOS and Android based Commons Photo upload app. Both platforms are being developed concurrently and will have feature parity. Shankar Narayan joined the team in late February and will be supporting for all design needs. While the first iteration of the Commons App isn't scheduled to finish till 2/8 the team has already created two skeleton apps that can upload, share, show my contributions and much more. The team will be spending their next iteration tweaking workflows and styling the app. The team also took the time to release new versions of the Wikipedia app on iOS and Android in order to bring it into compliance for legal privacy/disclaimer issues.
