Mobile Projects/roadmap
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
[edit] Feature timeline
Please note that the mobile site is the foundation of most features, so app features are generally in addition to site features. The rate at which work is completed is very dependent on hiring success and volunteer involvement. Here is a snapshot of the recent and near-term roadmap:
At a high level:
- Feb. is for Android v 1.1, iPhone v3.0, new UI design
- March is for Photo Upload and new UI development
- April is for implementing Article Feedback Tool on mobile
