Topic on Talk:MediaWiki 1.21

Could we add a native mobile skin, or include such a extension with said skin, in the standard package?

There is no standard package yet, but the extension used by Wikipedia (Extension:MobileFrontend) is well on its way to becoming a generic (not Wikipedia specific) skin that can be used on any wiki, maybe even bundled by default one day.

Problem is that when 1.20 was stable, MobileFrontend required mw 1.21. Now that mw 1.21 is stable and 1.22 is in alpha stage, the extension requires 1.22!

Since mw 1.22 (stable) won't be on it's way anytime soon so could you please create a REL_1.21 branch for the MobileFrontend extension? I assume that up to some revision this extension can be used with mw 1.21.x.

The only infomarmation for the subject found on the internet about that is the following: https://www.mail-archive.com/mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg00576.html

Having a "mobile wiki" is vital! Thank in advance!

I'm using MobileFrontend in my own wiki and so far so good.
