I'd also kind of like to kill our current Firefox OS app and replace it with a pointer to the mobile web site for the same reason; we have more features on the mobile web site than on the current port-of-a-PhoneGap-app Firefox OS app, which isn't getting maintained. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
