Abstract

I will start by explaining the birth of Cellphedia through inspirations (one of them is wikipedia of course) and my rational for creating it. Then.. I'll present drawings/diagrams/images that to explain how it works in the front end (I can't really demonstrate because it works only in the US) Then.. I'll talk shortly about the technicality in the back end (which apps I'm using, etc.) Then.. I'll talk about how Cellphedia can be integrated with wikipedia. In a previous email, you've mentioned the idea of cellphones screens becoming bigger and thus able to present larger amounts of text. I actually see a bit of a conflict between this idea and the desire to make technology transparent, which leads for the design of smaller and thinner phones. That's where Cellphedia comes in with the concept of keeping definitions very brief. Metaphorically, It's like taking slices of wikipedia when you need to know quick facts on the run. I'll give some examples of existing questions and their answers on the Cellphedia website, and present them against wikipedia's definitions. Finally.. I'll talk about some future plans for Cellphedia.
