Extension:Gather

Gather is a curation experiment for Wikipedia and MediaWiki mobile sites.

The first experiment in this project is a pilot feature for providing users with an opportunity to create and share lists of articles. The project is being developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's mobile web team.

Gather is a work in progress, that is still subject to modification based on testing and community discussion
