I would love to hear from people interested in helping create & maintain apps for Firefox OS, BlackBerry 10, and Windows Phone 8, but we've got limited resources ourselves. Note that we do have a Firefox OS app in the Marketplace (thanks to Patrick, Rob Moen, and a bunch of awesome folks at the Bangalore DevCamp for work on that!). I hope to continue to improve it in my research time but we have no resources officially allocated to maintaining either Firefox OS or the Windows 8/RT tablet apps. Right now we're doing a big push on native apps for Commons upload tools for iOS and Android; we're getting good contributions from the community so far with a few interested folks sending in patches. These apps will eventually integrate campaign functionality replacing the HTML/JS-based Wiki Loves Monument app we did last year. Somewhere in the next few months we'll move on to redoing our current HTML/JS-based Wikipedia apps as native apps as well; again unless priorities change the main focus will be on Android and iOS. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
