At Jo's reasoanble suggestion, here's my proposed rough scope for the first mobileOK Basic Tests reference implementation: 1. mobileOK Basic Tests reference implementation A reference implementation of mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0, in Java. I'm thinking Java 5.0, and package org.w3c.mwi.mobileok.basic. Library will at minimum accept as input a URI, and output test results as specified by the document (individual results, outcomes, warnings, etc.) It will use some third-party open-source software (thinking Jakarta's HttpClient, a DOM parser like Xerces, a CSS parsing library). We'll collaborate on this code via dev.w3.org. 2. Updated web application at validator.w3.org/mobile which provides validation by file upload or for a given URL. If this is not already in Java, we can surely make a simple web J2EE web application that wraps the checker. Once we get a little closer we'll follow up with Dom et al. to see what kind of app can be hosted. Ideally this is all complete by the time mobileOK Basic Tests 1.0's final draft is released. I think it's crucial to have at least an incomplete, alpha release ready by then. I assume we have until at least the end of March, but that's still not a whole lot of time. So, we need to schedule so as to deliver *something* reasonable along with the final draft. Thoughts? I already have a little code ready, a framework plus enough implementation to retrieve and parse a document and run a test. I'll send it around when I get home for comments. Sean
