Summary: Mnemonic, acronym, name or handle for Mobile Web document

Here is an alphabetical-order list of ideas received for possible

again.

First by name then handle:

Accessible Content for Mobile Experiences (ACME)
Accessiblilty and the MObile Web (AMOW)
AccMobi
COntent Guidelines for MObile Devices (COGMOD)
How Web Accessibility and Mobile Web Overlap
How Web Accessibility and the Mobile Web Overlap
MobAcc
MobiAcc
Mobile & Accessible Web (MAW)
Mobile / Web Accessibility (MOBACC)
Mobile / Web Accessibility (MOBWAC)
Mobile Guidelines for Web Accessibility (MOGWAC)
Mobile Web / Accessibility Overlap (MOWA)
Mobile&Accessible
Mobile/Accessibility
MobiWac
MobWac
Overlapping Web Accessibility & Mobile (OWAM)
Web Accessibility / Mobile Overlap (WAMO, WAMWap)
Web Accessible & Mobile (WAM)
Web Mobile & Accessible (WeMA)
Web Overlapping Mobile & Accessible (WOMA)

The same list but sorted by handle:

ACME    Accessible Content for Mobile Experiences
AMOW    Accessiblilty and the MObile Web
AccMobi
COGMOD  COntent Guidelines for MObile Devices
How Web Accessibility and Mobile Web Overlap
