Hi Roberto,

I'm on the FSF tech team and help maintain libreplanet.org. Afaik, we
aren't using any code other than upstream mediawiki. So, you can find
the mediawiki version and extensions we are using at
https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Special:Version, and download them from
mediawiki. For making the site mobile friendly, I think we would first
like to upgrade the site to the latest and then evaluate which of way to
make the site mobile friendly. The upgraded site would get the newer
default vector theme that might already be good enough. If you'd like to
help, you can, but it will take a fair bit of time. . A good start would be
you to try out on your own machine to install our version of mediawiki
on trisquel 8, then upgrade it to the latest lts version so you get
familiar with the process.
