Given the huge range of structures a Wikimania schedule can have, due to
how tied to the physical layout of the venue(s) it is as well as other
reasons (transport, food, culture, climate, themes, contemporary movement
politics, etc), and how different non-conference aspects can be (for an
Oh! That might be a problem half solved. :P
I wouldn't recommend the Wikimania Team make an Android app for the
conferences. As Mabett said, of which I agree:
I feel it would be better to put effort into making the official
website (more) mobile friendly.

Could be useful to have a one-tap feature to add lectures/workshop to
the phone/googe calendar and maybe an alert system if there are
changes in the schedule. It could be app or just mobile version of
website :-)

I don't quite get why Wikimania would need an app? If someone builds one

invest time, energy or money into it? So please enlighten me, what would be
the upside?

To be honest while I can certainly appreciate the usefulness of an app for
Wikimania i see it as very low on a long list of things that need to be set
and ready (many of which may never be fully set before the conference
begins) before we invest much time and energy into an app.

Given there were literally hundreds of paper calendars I think I looked at the
app maybe twice throughout the whole weekend. It was really pretty, but slow
and ultimately pointless once you’d put your chosen sessions into your own
calendar (as I’m sure a lot of people did) or indeed just
It likewise didn't serve any useful purpose for me. I just saw it on the
phone, and thought, what the heck is this doing here?
Since it was branded as official app, it appeared and i thought it is
something interesting to the Wikimania team of which perhaps they would

Ah, right :). To be fair, the app was of a standard I would probably expect
from a volunteer-run conference but obviously it’s just data inputted into an

Making a whole app for Wikimanias en generale would be pretty cool, but
probably not cool enough to warrant the
