The problem is that one of the main
advantages of an app would be
the large publicity, as well as the mentioned upload ability. A web
app would go unnoticed except by those who visit the site anyway and
so would not be worth it.
The SDK charge is £100 off the top of my
head. I think we either ne
ed to find a developer with an account or apply for the Wikimedia Fp
undation to pay and then keep the account and release the app under
the name of 'The Community'. Although, this might be the way to fin
d a good developer-offer to pay for their license!
Over the next few days, can everybody keep
an eye out for mentions
of developers that might be willing to do it for free. I have a few
possibilities as well.

their native applications.

From what i understand, apple charges
money for the right to develop
iphone apps (according to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_Store#iPhone_SDK ), so preferably
we'd have to find someone who already develops such apps and thus
already paid the fee. (Perhaps developing web applications are
free?)
