Topic on Talk:Reading/Readers contributions via Android

One task that would be useful to promote to readers is adding Headings. This could be targeted at articles with more than a few paragraphs of content but without sections. It is one of the newbie exercises in EN:Template:Welcome_training, and it is a classic entry level task - no referencing required! Hopefully an android App could prompt people to add some of the obvious headings, on English that would include See Also, External Links and References.

As well as an uncontentious and useful intro to editing, putting articles into sections reduces the risk of edit conflicts - one of our biggest problems for new editors.

Sounds good! I'm starting to see a pattern here: seems like we should be looking at "Welcome training"? I'll add this to the list when I go through to round up all the learnings from this conversation.

Yes there are several entry level tasks in there, and some of them have been tested out in editathons and elsewhere.
