A couple of small points of clarity….1) I am one of the first entirely mobile-focused employees in the Global Development team at the foundation, but there are several kickass engineers, developers, and product managers in our tech team and community who are exclusively devoted to mobile and have been for a while; 2) Dont think I ever said “its difficult to rely on volunteers…”. Volunteers (or community) are the center of Wikipedia and its progress in all forms. What may make mobile partnerships slightly different is that they involve a lot of meeting and cross-region coordination with operators etc, which the community doesn’t always have the time and capacity to do
