WikiMob: Wiki Mobile Interaction

Authors: Raquel Frisa, Rosana Anglés, Óscar Puyal - Vodafone Group R&D .ES - Huesca

This poster presents how to integrate Wiki-based projects with the access from mobile devices. Our aim is to contribute to the convergence between Internet Services and Mobile Networks.

Vodafone R&D, as one of the leading telecommunications operators, launches this initiative due to the social phenomenon Wikipedia, supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, has meant for the Internet community. This is the most successful project based on a wiki, and thanks to it, collaborative tools like wikis have become in the perfect artifact to spread the knowledge across the Internet.

We provide Wikimob, a mobile application to access to any wiki powered by MediaWiki, source code and available at http://forge.betavine.net
