Thanks, Julius!

I really appreciate this preliminary evaluation of how Media Viewer v0.2 looks 
on mobile.

I’m glad that our current version works already, even though we haven’t done 
anything yet towards mobile support. :)

It’s also good to know about some of the issues that need to be addressed 
before we can properly support mobile devices with the Media Viewer.

We would like to take on mobile support next quarter, as part of version 0.3, 
as outlined here:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia/About_Media_Viewer#Next_Version

For now, I have added a link to this email thread on our Mingle card for this 
epic story: 

https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/201

I will ping Kenan and Tomasz next week to determine when would be a good time 
for our teams to collaborate on developing this Mobile Version of Media Viewer.

Thanks again for his great start … to be continued!
