Description:
Mobile viewing application

A mobile web application would be nice to have for Wikinews that could be downloaded from Apple's App Store or Android's App Store.

Laura Hale and pi zero, both on the provisional board of The Wikinewsie Group would be keen to act as mentors for how to implement this from a community perspective. Some limited technical assistance may be available. The tool may also be useful for educational outreach programs and some Commons uploading activities.

This is not an extension request, instead you ask to write a mobile app.

CCing Laura Hale and Pi Zero, who have proposed his project.

The contributors that proposed this project are missing. I agree the project is complex and unclear. Resolving as WONTFIX to avoid confusion among potential candidates.

I have removed the corresponding entry at [[mw:Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects]]. If someone wants to restart this project idea, please bring the proposal back to the wiki page, and let's discuss there.
