Description

As an experiment let's see what happens if in the JavaScript console we log an easter egg inviting developers to come and help us build MobileFrontend.

As a first step I think it might be fun to create a bug: "Get more developers helping us build MobileFrontend" on Phabricator and then in the console log a message saying something along the lines of:
"Developer? Speak multiple languages? Designer? Help us make the Wikipedia* mobile experience even better. Come introduce yourself at: http://phabricator.wikimedia.org/<bug> and we'll point you at ways you can help the free knowledge movement.

I suggest we run this in stable for say a month and see what happens. If it doesn't prove successful we can just remove it.

Thoughts?

+1, but should be a config var default to false, so third parties doesn't have this message :) (another question: localised or not?)

Definitely localised.
