Forgive me, but I don't understand the purpose of a prototype wiki that's not really a prototype: there are no images or templates. The home page (<http://nomad.tesla.usability.wikimedia.org/index.php/Main_Page>) seems to indicate that this is expected, but unless the goal is to have users test how well red links render on their phone, I'm not sure what testing can be done currently. Are the images and templates going to be imported? Looking at <http://nomad.tesla.usability.wikimedia.org/index.php/Trump_criticizes_media _bias_towards_Obama,_especially_during_UK_state_visit>, it's insanely slow to load, mostly as the images aren't being thumbnailed. >From the HTML source: <img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Barack_Obama_Michell e_Obama_Queen_Elizabeth_II_Buckingham_Palace_London.jpg" width="180" height="120" class="thumbimage" /> That's client-side resizing, which is painful enough on a full web browser, much less a mobile device. The wikicode specifies "|thumb|", which should resize the image server-side, surely. I'm not sure what's going on there. > Come help test, develop, or just ask about our mobile efforts on irc > freednode #wikimedia-mobile. I don't think yet another IRC channel is a good idea. Surely this could go in #wikimedia-dev or #mediawiki.
