Yeah, Roan is going to have zero to no time for working on that. I have a couple of other people in mind at WMF who could help but if there are any community devs that want to help out then I'd love to get them started. > > Additionally Jessie Wild from the Wikimedia Foundation was in contact with me > concerning a strategical Wikimedia Offline meetup, somewhere before > Wikimania.

Looks like the Dev conference is going to be moved to later on in the year so we'll have to re-evaluate times. Either way though we should find a time to do it. --tomasz _______________________________________________ dev-l mailing list [email protected] https://intern.openzim.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-l
