Mobile checker

Hi,

Some of you may have seen the recent announcement of the alpha version 
of a new mobile checker set up by W3C:
   http://validator.w3.org/mobile-alpha/

While the tool is still very experimental, I think it already does a 
fair job of identifying issues that contributes to degrading the user 
experience of Web apps on mobile; I've been working on it on and off 
with my colleague Guillaume over the past 12 months, and it's been a 
good opportunity to look at well-known bad practices on mobile, and ways 
to identify them automatically.

In the tradition of quality tools in W3C, it is an open source tool, 
available on github:
   https://github.com/w3c/Mobile-Checker

Compared to our other tools, this one is based on running Web pages in 
an actual browser and running checks on the "live" DOM and network 
interactions happening there.

There are still significant improvements needed in terms of stability 
and performances, and many possible new features that the tool should 
implement to meet its goal of helping developers reach the mobile 
nirvana; if you're interested in contributing or want to learn more, 
feel free to either contact me directly or via github.

Thanks,

Dom
