A guy named Patrick Reilly has been hired to redo the mobile site. Tomasz Finc is the Engineer Program Manager in charge of this (cc'ing him). He should have a bit more information. As far as I know, the guy started very recently and is getting familiarized with the current setup/architecture before he begins redesigning and re-implementing it. > The problems with the mobile site are not about aesthetics or minor > bugs, but about core features / use cases that are broken. > A fix (either bug fixes or a re-write) is needed ASAP. Yeah, the current mobile site is pretty bad, and not just in terms of user usability. Personally I disabled it on my phone long ago. A rewrite seems to be a fairly high priority for the Wikimedia Foundation though, so I expect to see some major progress on this in the next few months.
