Note that I haven't tried OGVKit with a Swift host app yet, but it should work. I may need to make more annotations in the obj-c source.

@dr0ptp4kt you know I love this idea, but I'm not currently slated to go to Lyon due to event budget. cc:@Qgil

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.

Did someone work on this project during Wikimedia-Hackathon-2015? If so, please update the task with the results. If not, please remove the label.

Done.

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 #Engineering-Community (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.

With a role change (from more purely software engineering to more purely managing) I don't have a lot of bandwidth to work T91658: Hacking: Wiki Radio. But @bgerstle, @coreyfloyd, @Mhurd, do you think this is something that may be of interest to you and if you might have experimentation time to do this The Right Way? I totally understand if it's not practical.

@Qgil, I need to think quickly and hard about whether I can make this a part of my goals for Q1 or perhaps more realistically, Q2 & beyond. I like coding in Swift (and I like coding), and I still think something like a queued radio-like experience would be pretty neat (and someday, think about the possibility of having users record sections of articles, entire articles, pronunciations, and more). But I have to be practical, too. @brion, any interest in this, and realistically, would there be time for you and I to pair program on this? I totally understand if not.

I'm associating Possible-Tech-Projects just in case this is an option to work further on this neat project. If a qualified intern would be willing to work on this and two of you would be willing to mentor...

This is a message posted to all tasks under "Backlog" at Possible-Tech-Projects. Outreachy-Round-11 is around the corner. If you want to propose this task as a featured project idea, we need a clear plan with community support, and two mentors willing to support it.

This is a message sent to all Possible-Tech-Projects. The new round of Wikimedia Individual Engagement Grants is open until 29 Sep. For the first time, technical projects are within scope, thanks to the feedback received at Wikimania 2015, before, and after (T105414). If someone is interested in obtaining funds to push this task, this might be a good way.

This is the last call for Possible-Tech-Projects missing mentors. The application deadline for Outreachy-Round-11 is 2015-11-02. If this proposal doesn't have two mentors assigned by the end of Thursday, October 22, it will be moved as a candidate for the next round.

Interested in mentoring? Check the documentation for possible mentors.

As previously mentioned, this task is moved to 'Recheck in February 2016' as it doesn't have two mentors assigned to it as of today, October 23 - 2015. The project will be included in the discussion of next iteration of GSoC/Outreachy, and is excluded from #Outreachy-11. Potential candidates are discouraged from submitting proposals to this task for #Outreachy-11 as it lacks mentors in this round.

@dr0ptp4kt , do you think this task could be pushed for the current round of GSoC/Outreachy internships?

Anyone willing to co-mentor this for GSoC 2016?

@dr0ptp4kt any consensus to work on this feature? We can have it for current Outreachy-13 round, given we definer its scope clearly?

@Sumit, just wanted to note I saw this (somehow missed the earlier notification for some reason, though, sorry!). I'm going to check in with some people - we're pretty busy, but wanted to at least get a sense of where we might be in terms of being able to mentor.

@Sumit, following up: @Nirzar and I would be happy to mentor. Our support would be from the perspective of user experience / design and guidance about available web APIs and conventions to support the mentee iterating on the standalone native app concept. We'd want to explore with the mentee several possibilities beyond just random audio file playback, as there are lots of fun things to do.

Do you happen to know if this person would be doing this native app work in iOS or Android, or both?

I'll update the Description.

@dr0ptp4kt thanks for that, adding Outreachy-13 and moving to featured.

@dr0ptp4kt @Nirzar I am interested with this project. I can do it for Android, only. I started to work on a very fast prototype so that I can understand the concept better. Do you have any advise other than the things written here?

@Nes that sounds great! :) happy that you are interested in working on this. I can help you with design. would you mind discussing/ showing any work you have? wireframes, prototypes, paper sketches. If we have a starting point, i can help you with app design, assets and making sure the quality is at par with Wikimedia apps.

npangarkar@wikimedia.org < you can reach out to me here.

@Nes, cool. If you would please CC me (I'm abaso@) when emailing Nirzar that would be terrific.

@Nes okay if I mark you as the assignee for this?

@dr0ptp4kt sure:)

I'm removing Reading-Admin from, not out of interest but because it's basically done now. I didn't want to mark the task resolved, in case it's intended to be marked Open in the Outreachy board.

Actually...adding the tag back, seeing as other boards archived. @Nes okay if we mark this task resolved?

@dr0ptp4kt yes, it is ok.
