[Wikimedia-l] Re: We need more interactive content: we are doing it wrong
Note that a third-party web service is not ideal; in addition to the issues
of tracking and privacy, it can't work offline and likely would require
additional work to get the graphics working on mobile web, mobile apps, and
offline (kiwix etc). Integrating fully with a self-contained service that
is supported by our whole ecosystem and maintained in the future would be
desirable in the work I'd like to make sure we do on multimedia.
