Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/2021Roadmap

Overview
In March 2021, the Android team held a virtual offsite to evaluate past projects and features. We also evaluated the needs of different app user groups and where the Android team would focus building out for the next 3-5 years. The roadmap is a multi-year effort broken into 6 phases to improve, expand and create functionality within the app, as well as parity with other platforms. Throughout the implementation of the roadmap, the team will work very closely with existing and aspirational community members and app users to ensure we prioritize the most pressing needs of editors and readers using the app, as well as those impacted by said edits.

The phases of the roadmap include:


 * Architectural assessment
 * Communication improvements
 * Quality contributions
 * Quantity contributions
 * Customized consumption
 * Giving pathways
