These, when implemented by a Web site provider will enable the content to be perceived by users on mobile devices, particularly small-screen devices such as PDAs, browser-enabled phones and touch- screen devices." I think the phrase "will enable the content to be perceived by users on mobile devices" was a good choice of words by those who wrote the Charter when I first joined this Working Group the main everyday work-focus of the Group was on writing about how to implement pages and sites aimed at browser-based clients over the past few years non-browser-based clients have emerged as a major trend in mobile device use of the Web... witness the emergence of the need for and a concrete draft of the Mobile Web Application Best Practices document in July of last year [3]... this was in response to real-world requests for guidance and coordination IMHO the work of the W3C Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group is not over - the WG should recommend that the BPWG Charter "Deliverables" section [4] be modified to reflect the need to complete the current draft of the Mobile Web Application Best Practices document [5] and - the WG should recommend other similar documents dealing with other non-browser-based & emerging-platform mobile-device-based uses of the Web jeffs -- "No design survives first contact with the user." -- @bokardo on Twitter -- ============ Prof. Jeff Sonstein http://www.it.rit.edu/~jxs/ http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/ http://chw.rit.edu/blog/ http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/jeffs.asc http://www.it.rit.edu/~jxs/emailDisclaimer.html -- References: [1] http://www.w3.org/2009/09/15-bpwg-minutes.html [2] http://www.w3.org/2008/06/MWBP-WG-charter.html [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-mwabp-20080729/ [4] http://www.w3.org/2008/06/MWBP-WG-charter.html#deliverables [5] http://www.w3.org/TR/mwabp/
