Wikipedia for KaiOS/pt-br

Wikipedia for KAIOS is a Wikipedia reading app for smart feature phones that the Inuka team started developing in 2019 to avail Wikipedia content on 4G smart, feature phones, and bridge the digital divide through worldwide readership across many parts of emerging markets, specifically India. We released in 2 versions - 1) for India (due to a separate app store and device variations), 2) for rest of the world

Background
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.

Goals & Objectives

 * Increase adoption and engagement with Wikipedia content for readers in Emerging Markets and grow readership.

Assumptions & Hypothesis

 * If we develop a custom Wikipedia experience for the KaiOS platform for emerging markets this will lead to content engagement and awareness.

Design Research

 * 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.



Recursos destacados
Os celulares com KaiOS possuem uma tela pequena de 2,8 polegadas sem sensibilidade ao toque. Ao projetar o aplicativo, tivemos que considerar como apresentaríamos as informações da Wikipedia na tela pequena de uma forma que proporcionasse uma boa experiência de leitura para o público-alvo. Para a primeira versão, a equipe queria ter certeza de que os usuários seriam capazes de ler e pesquisar artigos da Wikipedia em seu idioma de escolha. No projeto e na engenharia, consideramos como os usuários seriam apresentados à Wikipedia, como eles descobrem os artigos e como navegam facilmente nos artigos.



Fluxo de integração
A pesquisa mostrou que, na Índia e em outras partes dos mercados emergentes, há pouca divulgação da Wikipedia. Queríamos concentrar a experiência de integração na definição do que é a Wikipedia em uma linguagem simples para um usuário que pode ou não ter usado a Wikipedia antes.

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.

Enhanced search function
KaiOS search function allows all words in a user's search query to show results.
