Webmaker App for Android no longer available #1018

Closed madb1lly closed 6 years ago

madb1lly commented 6 years ago

Hi all, The Webmaker app for Android isn't on the Play store anymore. Is this intentional? Is the project defunct? If it is, why is the website www.webmaker.org still up with a link to the Play store? Cheers,

Hi @madb1lly

Mozilla is no longer supporting Webmaker for Android; we're currently devoting our resources to our advocacy, leadership, and Internet Health Report work.

Mozilla is in the process of updating older properties. Thanks for writing — and let me know if I can answer further questions.

madb1lly commented 6 years ago

So you mean Mozilla isn't going to do or support any technical initiatives anymore? That doesn't sound very promising.

Hi @madb1lly,

To clarify: The specific teams at the Mozilla Foundation that supported Webmaker are now working on our advocacy, leadership, and Internet Health Report work.

You can find a list of projects that Mozilla is supporting -- many of them technical -- here: https://www.mozillapulse.org/featured

Hi @KevZawacki Thanks for the reply and link to Pulse. It's good to know that Mozilla is keeping the technical projects going. It's a shame that Webmaker couldn't be kept going, these education tools are one of the best things to come from Mozilla. I hope that Thimble, Xray goggles and other education tools will be kept alive? Cheers :)
