But I think it would be important to scope the project so that it can be finished in GSoC time - but obviously, further work on it afterwards will be gladly appreciated. So, let's consider what should be working: * create a mobile site for Wikidata * displays the content in a layout that is more adequate for mobile devices * retains different language versions * Bonus: easy to edit First step would be to figure out the exact technology to use, i.e. whether it would use the MobileFrontend or not, etc. We would help with setting it up on labs.
