Mobile App

Context

Today wikifab works on desktop only.

Users have to transfer their pictures from a camera to a laptop. This is very boring and time consuming.

We want to make an app to take pictures and transfer them automatically to tutorials.

State of the art

Mediawiki comes with a bunch of APIs that could be used to send pictures from the app to wikifab, and update turorials.

You can find the API documentation here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page

There is also the M2Wiki Browser project, an app to browse any Mediawiki site on mobile. This app uses the MediaWiki API.

Features

Log in from mobile

To use the app, user needs to log in to wikifab from his mobile phone.

Browse tutorials

User can search for an existing tutorial from his mobile phone.

Create a new tutorial

User can create a new tutorial from his mobile phone.

The created tutorial should respect the Wikifab syntax defined in templates (available here : http://en.wikifab.org/index.php/Form:Tutorial?action=edit )

Take pictures

User can take pictures from his mobile phone.

Send picture to a tutorial

1. User search for an existing tutorial or create a new one
2. User selects the tutorial he wants to send picture to
3. User selects pictures he took with the app (or pictures stored in his phone)
4. User publish (send) the selected pictures to the tutorial library

Back on his laptop, user find the pictures in the library of pictures of the tutorial. He then can organise the pictures inside the tutorial from its laptop.
