Re: [Foundation-l] mobile website
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more It says, The Wikipedia community, as part of their request to the Wikimedia Foundation to carry out this protest, asked us to ensure that we make English Wikipedia accessible in some way during an emergency. The English Wikipedia will be accessible on mobile devices and smart phones.

The herd of cats wanted it that way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Action Provisions for emergency access to the site should be included in the blackout software. (I'm not convinced Wikipedia access counts as an emergency. But it's not really a secure-hard blackout.) - d. - d. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Re: [Foundation-l] mobile website
So lets say that Wikipedia doesn't have a active anti vandal crew today, but people can still edit within the English Wikipedia by mobile phone. So we will find in a year all kind of vandal edits done today? ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
Re: [Foundation-l] mobile website
bringing my 5 cents: think that mobile users are not the one privileged here, since anyone can surf on m.wp. Guess that limited usability of m.wp compensate 100% lack of normanl WP. (following my friends post on WP this morning - everyone feels disturbed by this, and I am not from an english speaking country, as you can see here [1], online dictionary is solidar with WP) [1] http://dexonline.ro/ all the best, /gheorghe On 18.01.2012 10:58, John Vandenberg wrote: the emergency access should be at a different location. mobile users should not be privileged. -- John Vandenberg ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
