             Bug #: 32279
           Summary: Windows 8 Metro port of PhoneGap app
           Product: Wikimedia Mobile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
               URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/b

          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: generic

Windows 8 will have a new 'Metro' interface paradigm with more touch-centric UI
and different inter-app communication (such as a 'Share' sink system somewhat
similar to Android's intents).

Metro-themed apps can be written in C++/C#/etc but also can run in an
HTML/JS/CSS environment.

With a tablet-friendly main UI, we could port the app to run as a native
Windows 8 Metro app, either through PhoneGap/Callback or directly.


I have an x86 tablet (Dell Inspiron Duo) running Windows 8 Developer Preview to
test with; unfortunately the developer tools are only available on the 64-bit
build and I don't think this will run that (Atom CPU). Not sure if can build on
one box and test on another with MS's current dev infrastructure (Metro apps
have code-signing similar to iOS -- yecch!)

Testing all the touch stuff within IE 10 should be possible in the near term
though.
