We do have a need for the development of a Mobile/cross device development course - see http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/Learning_material#Write_the_mobile_web_course! We have a few contributors interested, but things have not start moving yet.

I’m also an author/educator/evangelist for standards-based mobile web development. I met a few of you at the Seattle W3Conf recently – screaminggeek on the conference IRC – and I met at least Doug in person.

I saw prior threads on the list archives about outreach to community colleges (I taught mobile web dev at a community college for a few years and could help there), and of course I am happy to contribute educational content, especially w/respect to HTML5. I’m good at translating geek to plain English and hope to use that skill in this CG.
