ReasonMobile is good enough and could be put in Wikipedia if there is a real need.

The project would be to write a encyclopedia consisting of articles with no more than 200 characters. The maximum number of characters could be increased over the years, if phones with larger displays are used more often. The wikimobile would be optimized for editing and reading with mobiles, not personal-computers or smart-phones.

This project could be realized as a second article of a Wikipedia article. There are Wikipedias where the article is translated between different languages, for example the zh:WP. This is the model of the wikimobile, because we could add to each Wikipedia article an additional page with a maximum editing space of 200 characters. At the moment mobile.wikipedia.org shows just a few sentences from a article, but there is a difference between a short article and a short part of a article.
