The iOS application is an open source project which is hosted on github.com. To download a copy of the source code pleaes visit http://github.com/sdang/wikem-ios. If you would like to contribute a feature / bug fix:
- Register on github (free) http://github.com/signup/free

- Fork the wikem-ios repository
- Create a git branch describing your feature (eg improved-search-performance)
- Commit your changes and push to your personal fork
- Submit a pull request (http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/)
Your submission will be reviewed, and if accepted, will be integrated into the next release! Any authors who contribute to the project will have their names added to the developers list in the published application.
Wiki-Mobile Interface
Currently, we utilize a server script which parses the wikem wiki and generates an XML database for the mobile clients. Our wiki is built upon the MediWiki project, and the XML database is generated using a ruby script. If you have experiencing in managing web services and would like to contribute to this area, please message an administrator.
MediaWiki Server
We encourage users who are interested in adding wiki features to contribute directly to the mediawiki project (http://www.mediawiki.org) so that your features will be available to the entire wiki community.
