Cross posting to reach a larger audience. We've gotten word from the Global Development group that a lot of our partners are asking for an official Symbian S40 J2ME app for Wikipedia. Before talking to any potential development houses I wanted to reach out to both of these lists to see if anyone has a lead on any open source developers who would want to contract for a project like this and/or volunteer with us.
The feature set would be fairly basic including but not limited to * Reading articles * Bookmarks * History * Interwiki links Now developing for J2ME is a beast unto itself as Derk-Jan https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32700#c1 points out but the potential install base of these phones is still fairly large making it a good strategic goal. We'd love to do this in PhoneGap but its support starts at S60 and not S40. I see two Symbian based apps here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Mobile_access#Symbian_applications but their both just for offline reading Curious to hear peoples thought/experiences. --tomasz _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
