Re: [WikimediaMobile] [reading-wmf] Fwd: Mobile Firendly

2015-05-29 Thread Jon Katz 
+external mobile and wikitech

Shoot.  I meant to send this the external list.  For those of you just
joining us, we recently got an email from google letting us know that some
of our pages are now failing the mobile-friendly test, which has an adverse
impact on our search results.  It appears that most of our pages are also
blocking style info.

Google doesn't offer much insight into penalties, but if they're sending us
the email then it is or will have some impact.  I'd like to see if we can
better understand the other side of the equation- what is cost of fixing
it?  I think Jon's questions below are the ones to start with.

What a great phone!

Would be nice to have the Wikipedia app preinstalled as well. If it is
not powerfull enough, the Wikipedia lite app that has been showcased
during the Lyon hackathon would be a good candidate.
