Re: [Wikimedia-l] How to find the Wikimedia Commons Android App form Google Play? (Mohammed BAchounda)
Hmm. I was annoyed at Yuvi a couple of weeks ago because he promised he'd get back to me on repairing the Wikipedia Signpost app but we never got the call back. But apparently the WMF lacks the technical resources to systematically maintain its own side-projects---let alone the hobby work of its developers. This is disappointing...

In defense of Yuvi, he is routinely extinguishing metaphorical fires and hunting gremlins in Tool Labs. He may just be overtasked at the moment. I suggest that you email him a reminder.

When the Commons app was sunset, we had three mobile apps developers, one for iOS and two for Android. If we decided to make the Commons app a priority, it would've effectively halted development of the Wikipedia app. Given that the Commons app had around 300 monthly active users, compared to the Wikipedia app's 9,000,000 monthly active users, the decision to sunset the Commons app was not a hard one. We were focussing our efforts on the area that had the largest impact. Revisiting that decision in the future is always a possibility. But, to be clear, right now there are no plans to resume development of the Commons app. Dan -- Dan Garry Associate Product Manager, Mobile Apps Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
