Comment (by maxme):
@jonoaldersonwp I like your plan.
> In an ideal world we'd attempt to migrate some of the useful content,
but this requires more resource than we can reasonably throw at this.
The Blackberry, Symbian, Windows Phone apps are deprecated and abandoned,
and the only interesting topics there are 5 years old (or more) and
probably not relevant anymore. I think we don't need to migrate the
content from these.
> Create a 'Mobile' support forum, with 'levels'* for 'Android', 'iOS'
and 'Other'.
Having a unique forum for the mobile apps (Android and iOS) is fine.
Having (iOS/Android/Other) levels would be great, but we can start without
them.
> Since these are A8c properties (all the apps are under them), and all
support tools within the apps send users to WordPress.com, it was
discussed a fair bit, and the final outcome as I recall was that we
wouldn't migrate them within dotorg, if anything they'd be redirected off
to .com instead.
I think it should stay under wordpress.org, the apps are open source, we
regularly post updates on https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/ and there are
contributors not working at Automattic.
