‘Wikipedia Aims to Become More Mobile, Global’ – Re/code
James Temple says, “Wikimedia’s new executive director said the nonprofit is betting heavily on mobile as it strives to reach new audiences in developing regions and stay on top of shifting trends throughout the world.
“The majority of our investments are now going into product and engineering, and within that the majority is starting to go into mobility,” said Lila Tretikov at Code/Mobile, in one of her first public appearances since taking the role in May.
The shift is important for the organization behind Wikipedia, the fifth-most popular destination online, because citizens in poorer pockets of the world often come online for the first time through smartphones and other mobile devices”.
