[Wikimedia-l] Revamped Wikipedia app for Android now live!

Hi everyone, If you love Wikipedia and have an Android phone, you’re in for a treat! Today we’ve released a revamped Wikipedia for Android app, now available on Google Play . Our new features include: - *Speed* – Our new, native app

Congratulations to the Mobile Apps Android team on their first release of the new app! iPhone users, rest assured we're hard at work polishing up the iOS version, which brings the same updated feature set. Expect it in the next few weeks... -- brion On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 11:28 AM, Dan Garry

Great work! However, I will miss the amazing feature that allowed finding close articles by location. Any plans for restore this feature? :_( El 25/06/2014 21:07, "Sage Ross" escribió: > For those without Google Play access or who otherwise prefer > sideloading, here's the APK you can install di

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Revamped Wikipedia app for Android now live!

Hi Andy, The new app was built in native code from the ground up. So the nearby feature wasn't removed as much as it was never implemented. I apologise if I sound pedantic, but this distinction is important; for the initial release of the new app, we focussed on the barebones features that we nee

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Revamped Wikipedia app for Android now live!

The distinction is false. I have not (and more to the point, the many users who know nothing about our internal workings will not have) installed a "new" app; I have upgraded an existing app. There was no mention in the list of changes, and no warning elsewhere, that this extremely useful function

I've just made my first edit. Unless I missed something, there was no way to enter an edit summary. This is troubling in itself, but it is also at odds with the WMF's new terms of use, which require disclosure of paid edits, and suggest that that can be made in edit summaries (among other options,

[Wikimedia-l] Chapters and GLAM tooling

Hi folks, At the Zurich Hackathon, I met with a couple of folks from WM-CH who were interested in talking about ways that chapters can get involved in engineering/product development, similar to WM-DE's work on Wikidata. My recommendation to them was to consider working on GLAM-related tooling. T

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Chapters and GLAM tooling

I will add this to my ever-growing list of possible projects for Cascadia. There are a few other projects under consideration that have received little WMF support but I feel are movement-aligned and would interest the public or the contributor base. In order for Cascadia to work on these projects

Hi Erik: Thanks for your comment. I noticed your comment at [[1]] so hope they are related. Yes; making proper attributions and satisfying all license requirements are a bit complicated and time consuming. See my proposal at [[2]]. I requested the help of CC team; but didn't get any response so
