Indeed our primary focus is on Android and iOS right now, as we're a small
team and that's where the users are. 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.
