Re: [Foundation-l] Wikis and the direction hardware is taking

Totally, Getting the platform in place is step one. Next we get to prioritize surfacing more reading features vs. adding more editing features. I'll add a calendar of what the current discussions have looked like so that everyone can easily see them. --tomasz On Tue, Jun 14, 2011 at 5:32 AM, S

Re: [Foundation-l] Wikis and the direction hardware is taking

I forgot to say there are not website bugs, so much as browser bugs. Or just an extremely different interface. Perhaps a great mobile browser could be built to effectively kill apps. But is not something website changes could address. IMHO BirgitteSB Sent from my iPad On Jun 10, 2011, at 6:

Re: [Foundation-l] Wikis and the direction hardware is taking

Yes I eventually found that app. And it is much superior to editing from the browser. But it doesn't support ProofreadPage extension. Still between the app and browser it is definitely workable with two edits. My concern is much more that the reading/navigation experience seems to be driving pe

Re: [Foundation-l] Wikis and the direction hardware is taking

I totally agree with Steven and I think we really want to make this easier (especially for small edits). I use a nice app called "Wiki Edit" on my Ipad (along with some random editing on the browser) which is actually pretty nice (and handles wiki text well given the limitations). It works for basi

Hello Birgitte, Those same worries came up in me when I saw a video about the "Discover" app: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DSBEmkeUzQ In a contribution to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kurier/Ausgabe_7_2010 I compared those new apps with the clones around 2005, with the difference, th

I am getting ready do to a little traveling. It works out that traveling light is going to be my best bet for various reasons. As I don't want to carry around the weight of a laptop; I have purchased a little closer to the cutting edge than I generally do. In setting up my iPad this is what shoc
