nb: I'm specifying this as my Hackathon task.

Curious about the intersection between "low-end devices" and "iOS"...

Using Parsoid-format output (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec and http://nell-wikipedia.github.cscott.net/ which uses it, as does Kiwix, the OCG backend, Visual Editor, etc) might be helpful. That takes care of all the hard work on wikitext parsing. (The public API is at http://parsoid-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org/ .) You could then use a lynx-style "minimal HTML renderer" to extract just the article text, suppressing infoboxes, navigation boxes, and other heavyweight content and styling.

Low-end devices applies more to Android than it does to iOS, but there are indeed lots of older iOS devices running in the wild, too.

I added the iOS tag in hopes of mirroring this effort on iOS at the hackathon. It's nicely approachable task, and I think it could even cater to users interested in having nightmode reading (with simplified app assumptions, it's easy to do nightmode - or even to make it a standard feature to help differentiate the app).

It has been advised that Wikipedia Lite not be worked on for iOS. I'll remove the tag. For the hackathon, I'm planning to do Wikipedia Radio instead, and I'll create a Phabricator task for that.

It is time to promote Wikimedia-Hackathon-2015 activities in the program (training sessions and meetings) and main wiki page (hacking projects and other ongoing activities). Follow the instructions, please. If you have questions, about this message, ask here.

We are trying to help all open tasks listed under "Work continues after Lyon" at the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 workboard finding their best way forward.

• If you are participating in Wikimania, consider adding the #Wikimania-Hackathon-2015 project to get this task in that loop, which is about to start.
• If you think this project could welcome help from a dedicated Google Summer of Code or Outreachy intern, or from an Individual Engagement Grant, add the Possible-Tech-Projects project.
• If you would like to receive some other type of support (organizing a Tech Talk, establishing contacts with existing developer teams in Wikimedia or elsewhere, travel sponsorship for a related activity... you name it), please create a subtask explaining your request and associate it with Developer-Advocacy (or you can start by commenting here if you prefer).
• Keeping the description, priority and assigned fields up to date always helps. :)

For some context about this message, see T101151: Evaluate which projects showcased at the Wikimedia Hackathon should be supported further. It is the last communication related to Wikimedia-Hackathon-2015 that we will post here.

What is the status of this project and what needs to be done to complete it? This task has no priority, no assigned, and no trace of what was accomplished during the Wikimedia Hackathon.
