I would hope that the widgets we have developed for the Wikidata desktop UI - especially the Entity Selector widget - would be reusable on mobile.
It would also be extremely good to look in what the mobile team is doing for Wikipedia. Since both is MediaWiki in the backend anyway, I would assume that the Wikipedia Mobile code has a lot of reusable parts, or even should be a commons start ground. Brion, did you have a look at how feasible that would be? I disagree with Nishayn -- I don't think that's too big for a GSoC. It really depends on where you draw the line and how perfect you want to be, but we would define that in a way that makes it feasibly sized. 2013/4/9 Nischay Nahata <nischay...@gmail.com> > At first glance this looks too big a project for GSoC. > > > On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 1:12 PM, Pragun Bhutani <pragu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I plan to propose a GSOC project through Wikimedia this year, based > around > > the idea of mobilizing Wikidata.
