Re: [WikimediaMobile] Luis van Ahn/crowdsourcing
Luis von Ahn is my hero. This cheesy PBS clip about him with Neil Degrasse Tyson is my favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp-dRIoj3_4 On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 9:41 AM, Toby Negrin tneg...@wikimedia.org wrote: Yes -- we tried to connect him and Lila at some conference but it didn't happen.

Re: [WikimediaMobile] tmi (too many images)
No, the main reason this got abandoned was it also tried to do ajax page loading (lazy loading) and there were not enough people developing on it. Yes an image would not be loaded if you go offline but if it's hidden behind a section I think this is acceptable. Basically the tdlr is: Let's reduce what we serve to our users in that initial page load and get things snappy :-) Sam and I have been fiddling with this already here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/187062/ On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 12:58 PM, Bahodir Mansurov bmansu...@wikimedia.org wrote: On Jan 27, 2015, at 10:39 AM, Jon Robson jrob...@wikimedia.org wrote: We previously explored this but it didn't get enough support and I think it is worth revisiting now the MobileFrontend code is in a stronger place. I was not part of the previous conversation, but I guess one of the reasons against it was that we wanted users to be able to view images when they go offline. How can we solve this problem if we delay loading images? ___ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
