Description billinghurst 2014-10-15 09:56:35 UTC
My thoughts for a mobile app for the Wikisources is something that allows for a search in the language of interest then pulls a dynamic download of an epub version of the work from https://wsexport.wmflabs.org/tool/book.php

I was thinking something simple
* language choice
* api search in the main namespace
* select work to output (whole work or subpage of work) and generate epub

I wasn't thinking that any mobile app would do editing as at this stage it is not something easy to do on a smaller mobile app, and bigger movile devices can use inbuilt browsers.

Could you explain why this was filed under "Wikipedia App" as this seems to be about Wikisource? Does somebody plan to work on a Wikisource app?
Comment 2 Dan Garry 2014-10-15 18:35:40 UTC
This is invalid. This component is for bugs and feature requests in the Wikipedia app, not for requests for new apps.
Comment 3 Kunal Mehta (Legoktm) 2014-10-15 20:13:34 UTC
The bug itself is fine, just move it into a different component rather than closing it as invalid.

Then maybe you should change the descriptive element at

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi

as at this stage it says
Wikipedia App:  	Mobile applications for Wikipedia / Wiktionary / Wikisource 

which the request would validly fall within.

Thanks; I've fixed the description.

Thanks for spotting that!
