Wikipedia App Design

Rationale
If Wikipedia were a person, he'd know a bit of everything, quite a lot about pretty much everything you'd care to know. If you asked a questions hoping for a Y/N answer, you're in no luck. Instead, he tells you neutrally what he knows, giving you dimensions to the answer. He welcomes a debate and wouldn't bow down without a good battle. In short, Wikipedia is geeky about spreading free, neutral, and accurate knowledge. He will do everything to stay that way.



Page 1 : Feed me more knowledge
Also showcase the depth of WP's content and site. * Think of "knowledge" as any kind of media or content a user is dealing with. For example, in the future, I could be checking out someone's user profile: drag pulling horizontally gives me another random profile, swiping vertically gives me similar people. Etc.
 * Drag pull right presents users with a random knowledge.*
 * Drag pull up presents users with a related knowledge (when a user has reached the end of the article, chances are she is interested, so we feed her more of the similar). Related articles can come from WIkiprojects, which surfaces communities and categories. Etc.
 * Drag pull down presents users with results from sister projects.
 * Zooming out gives you a bird's eye view of the entire article with section snippets on the left so a user can see if the content has got he needs, no need to read the entire article to find out.
 * Zooming in reveals how this knowledge came about (history, milestones, who created, etc). We can even go forever zooming in and in to more TMI knowledge.
